Kansas City Royals Insights

• Kansas City Royals – Moneyline (+135)
  The Kansas City Royals infield defense grades out as the 2nd-strongest out of every team playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
  The Kansas City Royals bullpen ranks as the 3rd-worst in the league, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Kyle Bradish – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-140/+110)
  Compared to the average hurler, Kyle Bradish has been granted more leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing an extra 3.3 adjusted pitches each start.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Adley Rutschman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  In the last two weeks’ worth of games, Adley Rutschman’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 7.8% down to 0%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Coby Mayo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-205)
  Coby Mayo pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (40.4% — 97th percentile) and will be challenged by the game’s 4th-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.
