Athletics Insights

• Gage Jump – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  The Houston Astros have 8 batters in the projected batting order that will hold the platoon advantage over Gage Jump today.
  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.
• Athletics – Moneyline (-110)
  The Athletics projected offense grades out as the 2nd-weakest of all teams on the slate in terms of overall batting ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Houston Astros Insights

• Houston Astros – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-115)
  In his previous outing, Mike Burrows gave up a whopping 5 earned runs.
  Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
• Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
  Yordan Alvarez is an extreme flyball batter and faces the weak outfield defense of Sacramento (#1-worst of all teams today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Houston Astros – 2H Moneyline
  The Houston Astros bullpen profiles as the 7th-best in baseball, via 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.
