Washington Nationals Insights

  • Daylen Lile – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Daylen Lile in the 90th percentile when assessing his batting average talent.
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
  • Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline
    The Washington Nationals bullpen grades out as the 6th-worst in Major League Baseball, via 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.

Texas Rangers Insights

  • Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects that Kumar Rocker will average a total of 16.4 outs in today’s game.
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
  • Jake Burger – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
    Jake Burger is projected to hit 7th on the lineup card in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 69% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.
    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.
  • Brandon Nimmo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    Brandon Nimmo hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.4% — 95th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 6th-deepest CF 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.
