Houston Astros Insights

• Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Yordan Alvarez is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of Sacramento (#1-worst of all teams on the slate).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
  Isaac Paredes pulls many of his flyballs (46.3% — 100th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the game’s 6th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.

Athletics Insights

• Jonah Heim – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
  Jonah Heim has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (50% of the time), but he is projected to bat 9th in the batting order today.
  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.
• Athletics – Moneyline (+155)
  The Athletics projected lineup profiles as the 3rd-weakest of all teams on the slate in terms of overall batting skill.
  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.
