New York Yankees Insights

  • New York Yankees – Moneyline (-170)
    Among all the teams playing today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense is that of the the New York Yankees.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Heliot Ramos – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)
    Heliot Ramos has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (76% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the lineup 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.
  • The New York Yankees have 3 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Ryan McMahon, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Spencer Jones).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

  • Braydon Fisher – Over/Under Pitching Outs
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Braydon Fisher to be on a bit of a short leash in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 61 pitches.
    Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
