Toronto Blue Jays Insights

  • Trey Yesavage – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    Trey Yesavage has averaged 93.6 adjusted pitches per start this year, grading out in the 85th percentile.
    Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
    Daulton Varsho has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (61% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th in the batting order today.
    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.
  • Alejandro Kirk – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
    Alejandro Kirk has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (41.2%) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 3rd-shallowest RF 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.

Boston Red Sox Insights

  • Patrick Sandoval – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)
    The Toronto Blue Jays have 8 bats in the projected lineup that will hold the platoon advantage over Patrick Sandoval in this game, which is especially precarious given his large platoon split.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Caleb Durbin – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-205)
    Caleb Durbin has been cold in recent games, with his seasonal exit velocity of 84.4-mph dropping to 82.4-mph in the last two weeks’ worth of games.
    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.
  • It may be sensible to expect better numbers for the Boston Red Sox offense going forward, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 9th-unluckiest offense in MLB this year.
    Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
