New York Yankees Insights

• New York Yankees – Moneyline (-145)
  Among all the teams on the slate today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense belongs to the New York Yankees.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Austin Wells – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Austin Wells is an extreme flyball batter and matches up with the weak outfield defense of Minnesota (#2-worst of all teams on the slate).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• New York Yankees – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the New York Yankees’ bullpen ranks as the 2nd-worst among all the teams in the game.
  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.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Zebby Matthews – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-200/+155)
  Zebby Matthews has tallied 17 outs per start this year, placing in the 78th 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.
• Austin Martin – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)
  Austin Martin has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (81% of the time), but he is projected to hit 9th 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.
• Ryan Jeffers – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Ryan Jeffers in the 94th percentile when it comes to his overall offensive ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
