Boston Red Sox Insights

  • Boston Red Sox – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+135)
    Jake Bennett is an extreme groundball pitcher (47.3% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Tropicana Field — the #9 HR venue in Major League Baseball — today.
    Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
  • Isiah Kiner-Falefa – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
    Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s average exit velocity has decreased lately; his 83.4-mph seasonal mark has dropped off to 73.9-mph in the last week.
    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.
  • Boston Red Sox hitters as a group rank among the worst in the majors this year ( 7th-worst) as it relates to their 88.4-mph average exit velocity.
    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.

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

  • Drew Rasmussen – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
    It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Drew Rasmussen has used his non-fastballs 9.9% more often this year (51.7%) than he did last year (41.8%).
    Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
  • Cedric Mullins – Over/Under Total Bases
    Cedric Mullins is an extreme flyball batter and faces the strong outfield defense of Boston (#1-best on the slate).
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
    Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (43.4%) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards MLB’s 5th-shallowest RF 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.
