Toronto Blue Jays Insights

  • Kevin Gausman – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
    As a result of his reverse platoon split, Kevin Gausman has a tough challenge facing 6 hitters in the projected batting order who share his handedness in this game.
    Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform worse against same-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be worse against a right-handed hitter). Losing this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+140)
    Daulton Varsho is an extreme flyball hitter and squares off against the strong outfield defense of Boston (#1-best on the slate).
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Alejandro Kirk – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
    Alejandro Kirk has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.8%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 3rd-shallowest RF 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.

Boston Red Sox Insights

  • Ranger Suarez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+120/-150)
    Ranger Suarez’s 2056-rpm spin rate on his fastball this year is a big 105-rpm increase from last year’s 1951-rpm figure.
    Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his spin rate will likely see improved results.
  • Jarren Duran – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+125)
    Jarren Duran is projected to bat 7th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 78% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
    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.
  • The Boston Red Sox have done a bad job as a team optimizing their launch angles on their highest exit velocity balls. Their 12.3° figure is among the lowest in baseball since the start of last season (#28 overall).
    Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.
