Kansas City Royals Insights

  • Daniel Lynch – Over/Under 12.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Daniel Lynch IV to be limited in today’s game, projecting a maximum of 79 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.
  • Carter Jensen – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)
    Carter Jensen has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (88% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th in the batting order 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.
  • Vinnie Pasquantino – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
    Vinnie Pasquantino pulls a lot of his flyballs (36.9% — 91st percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 6th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
    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.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

  • Foster Griffin – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
    With 6 batters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Foster Griffin will be at a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s matchup.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • The Cleveland Guardians (19.1 K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) are projected to have the 2nd-least strikeout-heavy team of hitters on the slate today.
    Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
