Boston Red Sox Insights

• Ranger Suárez – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
  Ranger Suarez projects for 17.5 outs in today’s game, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
• Anthony Seigler – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Anthony Seigler is projected to bat 9th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 60% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  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.
• Jarren Duran – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Jarren Duran has a 94th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.5%) and will have to hit them out towards baseball’s 9th-deepest LF fences today.
  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.

Miami Marlins Insights

• Sandy Alcantara – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  The Boston Red Sox have 6 batters in the projected offense that will have the handedness advantage against Sandy Alcantara in this matchup.
  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.
• Heriberto Hernandez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Heriberto Hernandez has seen a sizeable improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 96.7-mph average to last season’s 93.6-mph figure.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• The Miami Marlins have 3 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Kyle Stowers, Heriberto Hernandez, Joe Mack).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
