Boston Red Sox Insights

  • Ranger Suarez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
    The Houston Astros have 8 batters in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage against Ranger Suarez in this matchup.

  • Jarren Duran – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
    Jarren Duran has a 94th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.8%) and has the good fortune of hitting them out towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences today.
    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.

Houston Astros Insights

    Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
  • Jose Altuve – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
    Batting from the opposite that Ranger Suarez throws from, Jose Altuve will have an edge today.
    Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • The Houston Astros have been the 9th-unluckiest offense in the game since the start of last season, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to hit better the rest of the season
    Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
