Houston Astros Insights

  • Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-265/+195)
    When it comes to his batting average skill, Yordan Alvarez is projected as the best hitter in the game by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
  • Brice Matthews – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+305/-440)
    Brice Matthews hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.8% — 99th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of baseball’s 6th-deepest CF 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.

Texas Rangers Insights

  • Kyle Higashioka – Over/Under Total Bases
    Batting from the same side that Cristian Javier throws from, Kyle Higashioka faces a tough challenge in today’s game.
    Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
