@

Boston Red Sox

Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Parker Messick – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
  Parker Messick has recorded 17.8 outs per game per started this year, ranking in the 94th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Typically, batters like Jose Ramirez who hit a lot of flyballs tend to be less successful when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Payton Tolle.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Cleveland Guardians – Moneyline (+105)
  The Cleveland Guardians projected batting order ranks as the 5th-worst of the day in terms of overall batting ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Payton Tolle – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+130/-170)
  Due to his reverse platoon split, Payton Tolle will hold the advantage facing 6 batters in the projected batting order of the opposite hand in today’s game.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Nick Sogard – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
  Nick Sogard has made substantial improvements with his Barrel% in recent games, bettering his 5.7% seasonal rate to 14.3% in the past week.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  The Boston Red Sox bullpen ranks as the 5th-best in baseball, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
