Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Trey Yesavage – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
  Given his large reverse platoon split, Trey Yesavage encounters a tough challenge matching up with 7 hitters in the projected offense of the same handedness in today’s outing.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform worse against same-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be worse against a right-handed hitter). Losing this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Alejandro Kirk – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
  Alejandro Kirk has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (81% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th in the batting order in this game.
  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.
• Toronto Blue Jays – 2H Moneyline
  The Toronto Blue Jays bullpen profiles as the best in Major League Baseball, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

San Diego Padres Insights

• San Diego Padres – Moneyline (-115)
  Among every team in action today, the 3rd-strongest infield defense is that of the San Diego Padres.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Ty France – Over/Under Total Bases
  Ty France has seen a notable improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 96.5-mph average to last year’s 90.8-mph mark.
  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.
• Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-150)
  Fernando Tatis Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.7% — 99th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting towards MLB’s 2nd-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.
