Athletics Insights

• Brady Basso – Over/Under Strikeouts
  The leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Brady Basso in the 25th percentile as it relates to his strikeout talent.
  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.
• Jonah Heim – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)
  Jonah Heim has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (53% of the time), but he is penciled in 4th in the lineup in this game.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• Athletics – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Athletics’ bullpen grades out as the 5th-worst among all the teams in MLB.
  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.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Byron Buxton – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Byron Buxton’s exit velocity on flyballs has dropped off this season; his 96.9-mph EV last season has decreased to 94.6-mph.
  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.
• Ryan Kreidler – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Ryan Kreidler hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.3% — 81st percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball’s 10th-deepest CF fences today.
  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.
