Philadelphia Phillies

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Brett Bateman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+125)
  Brett Bateman is projected to hit 1st in the lineup today, which would be an upgrade from his 100% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Brandon Marsh – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  Brandon Marsh has a 79th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.2%) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the game’s 10th-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
