Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Patrick Corbin – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
  Patrick Corbin has averaged 81 adjusted pitches per outing this year, grading out in the 20th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• George Springer – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates George Springer’s true offensive ability to be a .353, suggesting that he has suffered from bad luck this year given the .096 difference between that figure and his actual .257 wOBA.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• It may be smart to expect stronger performance for the Toronto Blue Jays offense the rest of the season, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 5th-unluckiest offense in MLB this year.
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.

New York Yankees Insights

• Ryan Weathers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  With 8 hitters of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Ryan Weathers faces a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this outing.
  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.
• Trent Grisham – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-145/+115)
  Trent Grisham has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (87% of the time), but he is projected to hit 8th in the lineup in this matchup.
  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.
• New York Yankees – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the New York Yankees’ bullpen projects as the 7th-best out of all major league teams.
  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.
