New York Yankees Insights

• Ryan Weathers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
  The Athletics have 7 bats in the projected lineup that will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Ryan Weathers in this 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.
• Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Extreme groundball batters like Aaron Judge are generally more successful against extreme flyball pitchers like J.T. Ginn.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Anthony Volpe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Today, Anthony Volpe is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 11th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 39.3% rate (96th percentile).
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Athletics Insights

• J.T. Ginn – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Out of all SPs, J.T. Ginn’s fastball spin rate of 2062 rpm grades out in the 8th percentile this year.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Brent Rooker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  In the last week, Brent Rooker’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 14.1% down to 0%.
  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.
• Compared to their .333 overall projected rate, the .321 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA of the Athletics projected batting order in today’s game suggests this version of the lineup a fair amount weaker than usual.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
