Kansas City Royals

Miami Marlins Insights

• Jakob Marsee – Over/Under Hits
  Jakob Marsee is projected to bat 7th in the lineup in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 51% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.
  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 Miami Marlins have 4 batters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Heriberto Hernandez, Kyle Stowers, Esteury Ruiz, Brian Navarreto).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Kansas City Royals Insights

• Noah Cameron – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
  Compared to the average pitcher, Noah Cameron has been granted more leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing an additional 4.9 adjusted pitches each start.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Kansas City Royals’ bullpen profiles as the worst among all the teams in baseball.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
