New York Yankees Insights

• Max Fried – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  Max Fried’s 2110-rpm spin rate on his fastball this season is a notable 101-rpm drop off from last year’s 2211-rpm figure.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose spin rate worsens will likely see worsened results as well.
• Jazz Chisholm – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+135)
  Jazz Chisholm Jr. is projected to hit 5th on the lineup card in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 92% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• Max Fried – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  Projected catcher Austin Wells grades out as an elite pitch framer, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).

Texas Rangers Insights

• Jack Leiter – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Jack Leiter is expected to rack up an average of 5.9 strikeouts today.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Brandon Nimmo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
  This season, Brandon Nimmo has experienced a significant increase in his exit velocity on flyballs, now sitting at an average of 96.1 mph compared to last year’s 93.6 mph mark.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Texas Rangers – 2H Moneyline
  The Texas Rangers bullpen ranks as the 4th-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.
