Baltimore Orioles Insights

  • Brandon Young – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
    With 7 batters who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Brandon Young faces a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this matchup.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Blaze Alexander – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
    Extreme groundball bats like Blaze Alexander generally hit better against extreme flyball pitchers like Emmet Sheehan.
    Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
  • Blaze Alexander – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
    Blaze Alexander has a 92nd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (35.7%) and will have to hit them out towards the league’s 8th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

  • Tommy Edman – Over/Under Hits
    Tommy Edman has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (100% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th in the batting order in this matchup.
    Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
  • Los Angeles Dodgers – Moneyline (-210)
    The best projected batting order of all teams on the slate today in terms of overall offensive skill is that of the the Los Angeles Dodgers.
    Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
