Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Shane Baz – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-140/+110)
  Compared to the average starter, Shane Baz has been granted an above-average leash this year, tallying an additional 6.3 adjusted pitches each game.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.

Athletics Insights

• Jack Perkins – Over/Under Strikeouts
  The Baltimore Orioles have 6 bats in the projected offense that will hold the platoon advantage over Jackson Perkins in this 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.
• Jonah Heim – Over/Under Hits
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jonah Heim in the 18th percentile when it comes to his batting average ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• Lawrence Butler – Over/Under Total Bases
  Lawrence Butler has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.4%) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the game’s 6th-deepest LF fences today.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
