Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Ian Seymour – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  Tallying 13.9 outs per game per started this year on average, Ian Seymour falls in the 15th 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.
• Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Yandy Diaz’s average exit velocity has dropped off this season; his 93-mph mark last year has lowered to 90.9-mph.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Tampa Bay Rays – 2H Moneyline
  The Tampa Bay Rays bullpen grades out as the 10th-worst in the majors, 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.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Andruw Monasterio – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Extreme groundball batters like Andruw Monasterio are generally less successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Ian Seymour.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Carlos Narvaez – Over/Under Total Bases
  Carlos Narvaez has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.9%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 3rd-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.
