Baltimore Orioles Insights

  • Baltimore Orioles – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+110)
    In his last GS, Brandon Young was in good form and conceded 0 ER.
    Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
  • Dylan Beavers – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
    Cincinnati’s -1-worst outfield defense of all teams on the slate creates a favorable matchup for Dylan Beavers, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
  • Baltimore Orioles – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Baltimore Orioles’ bullpen profiles as the 7th-worst among all the teams in the game.
    Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

  • Hunter Greene – Over/Under Pitching Outs
    Hunter Greene has been given more leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 5.9 more adjusted pitches-per-start than average.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • TJ Friedl – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-145/+115)
    TJ Friedl has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (100% of the time), but he is projected to bat 9th on the lineup card in this game.
    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.
  • Nate Lowe – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
    Nathaniel Lowe has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.3%) and has the good fortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 8th-shallowest LF fences today.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
