Miami Marlins Insights

• Janson Junk – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+125/-160)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) forecasts that Janson Junk will surrender an average of 1.3 singles in this outing.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• The Miami Marlins have been the 3rd-luckiest offense in MLB this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to negatively regress 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.

Houston Astros Insights

• Ronel Blanco – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  With 7 hitters of opposing handedness in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Ronel Blanco encounters a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
  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.
• Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
  In the last 14 days, Isaac Paredes’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 5.7% down to 0%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Houston Astros – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Houston Astros’ bullpen ranks as the best among all teams in the majors.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
