Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (-160)
  The Tampa Bay Rays infield defense profiles as the weakest among all the teams playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Taylor Walls – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Taylor Walls’s average exit velocity has fallen off recently; his 84.5-mph seasonal mark has fallen off to 81.4-mph over the last two weeks.
  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.
• The Tampa Bay Rays project to score the most runs of all teams on the slate, via the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Tomoyuki Sugano – Over/Under 2.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Tomoyuki Sugano projects to strikeout 2.9 bats in today’s game, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Brett Sullivan – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
  Brett Sullivan is an extreme flyball hitter and matches up with the strong outfield defense of Tampa Bay (#3-best of all teams on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• The underlying talent of the Colorado Rockies projected offense today (.300 projected wOBA according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be considerably worse than their .324 wOBA this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
