Kansas City Royals Insights

• Kansas City Royals – Moneyline (+130)
  The Kansas City Royals infield defense grades out as the 2nd-strongest out of every team in action today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Salvador Perez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Salvador Perez has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (88% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th on the lineup card 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.
• The Kansas City Royals have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Kameron Misner, Jac Caglianone, Carter Jensen).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

New York Mets Insights

• Kodai Senga – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  Kodai Senga has tallied 12.2 outs per GS this year, placing in the 4th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Francisco Lindor – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Francisco Lindor has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.9-mph to 95.1-mph over the past 14 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.
• New York’s 89.5-mph average exit velocity this year ranks among the elite in the league: #4 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.
