Boston Red Sox Insights

• Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (-120)
  Among all the teams today, the 2nd-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 (+105/-135)
  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 – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen profiles as the 10th-best out of all MLB teams.
  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.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Brandon Young – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
  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.
• Dylan Beavers – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-120/-110)
  Dylan Beavers is projected to bat 8th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 51% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.
  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 (+125/-160)
  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.
