Athletics

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (-230)
  Out of all the teams playing today, the worst infield defense is that of the Tampa Bay Rays.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Cedric Mullins – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  Cedric Mullins is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of Sacramento (#2-worst of all teams on the slate 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.
• Tampa Bay Rays hitters jointly rank 30th- in baseball for power this year when using their 6.1% Barrel%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Athletics Insights

• Jack Perkins – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
  Tallying 13.7 outs per outing this year on average, Jackson Perkins places in the 10th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Tommy White – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
  Thomas White is projected to bat 8th in the batting order in today’s game, which would be a downgrade from his 64% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  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.
• Henry Bolte – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+140)
  Henry Bolte hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.9% — 99th percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 11th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.
