- Lawrence Butler – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)In today’s game, Lawrence Butler is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 8th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 38.4% rate (97th percentile).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.
New York Yankees Insights
- Cam Schlittler – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) forecasts that Cameron Schlittler will wring up 6.3 strikeouts in this outing.Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
- Giancarlo Stanton – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-175/+135)As it relates to his batting average, Giancarlo Stanton has been lucky since the start of last season.

- New York Yankees – Moneyline (-260)The New York Yankees projected lineup projects as the 2nd-strongest of all teams on the slate in terms of overall batting skill.Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
