Tampa Bay Rays Insights
- Shane McClanahan – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)With 9 hitters who hit from the other side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Shane McClanahan will have a tough matchup while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s game.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Cedric Mullins – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)There has been a significant improvement in Cedric Mullins’s launch angle from last year’s 23.3° to 29.7° this season.Explain: A high launch angle generally means the hitter can lift the ball into the air well, which is a key component for power and home runs.
- Tampa Bay Rays hitters collectively grade out 30th- in the majors for power this year when using their 5.4% 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.

- Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)Zach Neto has been hot of late, whalloping 3 long-balls in the past week.Explain: Strong recent performance may mean the player is seeing the ball well and will continue to hit well in the near-term.
