- Texas Rangers – Moneyline (+125)The 4th-weakest projected batting order of all teams on the slate in terms of overall offensive skill is that of the Texas Rangers.Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
Tampa Bay Rays Insights
- Casey Legumina will “start” for Tampa Bay Rays today but will server as an opener and may not stay in the game more than a couple framess.Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
- Chandler Simpson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+160/-205)Chandler Simpson’s average exit velocity has decreased recently; his 83.7-mph seasonal EV has decreased to 81.3-mph in the last 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.
- Tampa Bay Rays – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Tampa Bay Rays’ bullpen ranks as the 9th-worst out of all the teams in Major League Baseball.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.
