Baltimore Orioles

Washington Nationals Insights

• Foster Griffin – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  With 8 bats of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Foster Griffin meets a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s outing.
  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.
• James Wood – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  James Wood has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 95.7-mph to 100.3-mph over the last 7 days.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• The Washington Nationals have been the luckiest offense in baseball this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to perform worse in the future
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Baltimore Orioles – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-120)
  In his last start, Brandon Young was firing on all cylinders and conceded 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Coby Mayo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
  Washington’s #2-ranked outfield defense of all teams on the slate poses a formidable challenge for Coby Mayo, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Baltimore’s 89.9-mph average exit velocity this year is one of the best in Major League Baseball: #1 overall.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
