Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Brandon Young – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
  Taking into account both his underlying tendencies and the matchup, Brandon Young is projected to throw 83 pitches in this game by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) system, which is the least of all pitchers today.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.

Washington Nationals Insights

• CJ Abrams – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  CJ Abrams pulls many of his flyballs (34.5% — 80th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 10th-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.
