Boston Red Sox Insights

• Payton Tolle – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Payton Tolle has a reverse platoon split and has the benefit of facing 7 opposite-handed hitters in today’s game.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Jarren Duran – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
  Jarren Duran has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (67% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th in the lineup in today’s game.
  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.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen profiles as the 7th-best out of all MLB 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.

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Vladimir Guerrero Jr – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.9% — 91st percentile) and is fortunate to face MLB’s 11th-shallowest CF 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.
