Boston Red Sox Insights

• Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (-135)
  Among all the teams today, the best infield defense belongs to the Boston Red Sox.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Wilyer Abreu – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
  Wilyer Abreu is an extreme flyball hitter and matches up with the weak outfield defense of Baltimore (#1-worst 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.
• Boston Red Sox bats collectively have been one of the worst in the majors 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.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Brandon Young – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
  Recording 17 outs per game per started this year on average, Brandon Young places him the 79th 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.
• Luis Robert Jr. – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+140)
  Luis Robert Jr. has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (82% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th on the lineup card 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.
• Coby Mayo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)
  In today’s game, Coby Mayo is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 4th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 40.3% rate (98th 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.
