Kansas City Royals Insights

• Noah Cameron – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
  Compared to average, Noah Cameron has been given an above-average leash this year, throwing an extra 4.6 adjusted pitches each game.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Kyle Isbel – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Bats such as Kyle Isbel with extreme flyball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Payton Tolle who skew towards the groundball end of the spectrum.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Collectively, Kansas City Royals batters have done poorly when it comes to hitting balls in the launch angle band that tends to best-produce base hits (between -4° and 26°), rating 3rd-worst in MLB.
  Explain: Balls that are hit either too high or too low can easy to field, but balls hit between -4° and 26° are far more likely to become base hits.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Payton Tolle – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Payton Tolle has used his fastball a lot this year, though: 68% of the time, placing in the 100th percentile.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• Jarren Duran – Over/Under Hits
  Jarren Duran has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (55% 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.
• Boston Red Sox batters jointly have been one of the worst in Major League Baseball this year ( 2nd-worst) as it relates to their 87.6-mph average exit velocity.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
