Seattle Mariners Insights

• George Kirby – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  Out of all starters, George Kirby’s fastball velocity of 96 mph grades out in the 79th percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Cal Raleigh’s true offensive ability to be a .330, suggesting that he has had some very poor luck this year given the .074 gap between that mark and his actual .256 wOBA.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• Seattle Mariners – 2H Moneyline
  The Seattle Mariners bullpen ranks as the 8th-best in Major League Baseball, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.

Houston Astros Insights

• Peter Lambert – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
  Peter Lambert has averaged 93.3 adjusted pitches per outing this year, placing in the 84th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Christian Walker – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Christian Walker has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (90% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th on the lineup card in today’s game.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  Isaac Paredes pulls a lot of his flyballs (46.3% — 100th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences today.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
