Boston Red Sox Insights

• Ranger Suarez – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  Ranger Suarez’s 2057-rpm spin rate on his fastball this year is a substantial 106-rpm increase from last season’s 1951-rpm figure.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his spin rate will likely see improved results.
• Willson Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Willson Contreras has seen a big increase in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 98.1-mph average to last year’s 95.8-mph EV.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Jarren Duran – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
  Jarren Duran has a 92nd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (35.8%) and will be challenged by MLB’s 11th-deepest LF 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.
