Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Nick Martinez – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+135/-175)
  As a result of his reverse platoon split, Nick Martinez will be at an advantage being matched up with 6 hitters in the projected lineup who bat from the other side 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.
• Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (+165)
  The Tampa Bay Rays projected batting order grades out as the worst on the slate in terms of overall offensive ability.
  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.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  The Milwaukee Brewers infield defense grades out as the best among all the teams on the slate today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Jackson Chourio – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-265/+200)
  As it relates to his batting average ability, Jackson Chourio is projected as the 15th-best hitter in baseball by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  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. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen projects as the best out of all MLB teams.
