Toronto Blue Jays

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Cincinnati Reds – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+135)
  Rhett Lowder was on point in his previous GS and conceded 2 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Carlos Jorge – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+135)
  Carlos Jorge is an extreme groundball batter and faces the strong infield defense of Toronto (#3-best of the day).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Cincinnati Reds hitters jointly grade out 2nd- in the game for power this year when assessing with their 9.5% Barrel%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Trey Yesavage – Over/Under 8.5 Pitching Outs (-145/+115)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Trey Yesavage to have a pitch count in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 55 pitches.
  Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Nathan Lukes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Nathan Lukes will hold the platoon advantage over Rhett Lowder in today’s matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.6% — 87th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards MLB’s 10th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.
