Kansas City Royals Insights

• Luinder Avila – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-155/+120)
  Tallying 13.4 outs per game per started this year on average, Luinder Avila places in the 9th 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.
• Michael Massey – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Michael Massey is an extreme flyball hitter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of Colorado (#3-worst of all teams on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Today’s version of the Royals projected offense is weaker than usual, as their .307 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA is considerably below their .320 overall projected rate.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Ryan Feltner – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)
  Ryan Feltner’s high utilization percentage of his secondary pitches (59.3% this year) figures to work in his favor consider they are generally much more effective than fastballs.
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Tyler Freeman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-225/+170)
  Tyler Freeman has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (77% of the time), but he is penciled in 8th 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.
• Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
  The Colorado Rockies bullpen profiles as the worst in Major League Baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
