New York Yankees Insights
- Jose Caballero – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+125)Jose Caballero has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (98% of the time), but he is penciled in 5th on the lineup card in this game.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.
- Anthony Volpe – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)Anthony Volpe hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.8% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards baseball’s 3rd-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.
Boston Red Sox Insights
- Jake Bennett – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)Jake Bennett’s high utilization rate of his fastball (60.8% since the start of last season) is likely harming his results, consider they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
- Carlos Narvaez – Over/Under Total BasesCarlos Narvaez has been hot lately, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 90.2-mph to 98.8-mph over the last week.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.
- Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (+105)The 4th-worst projected lineup of all teams on the slate today in terms of overall hitting skill is that of the the Boston Red Sox.Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
