Baltimore Orioles Insights

  • Shane Baz – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    Shane Baz has been granted more leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 7.9 more adjusted pitches-per-outing than league average.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Blaze Alexander – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+275/-390)
    Blaze Alexander has struggled with his Barrel%; his 13.2% rate last year has dropped to 1.7% this season.
    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.
  • Coby Mayo – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
    Coby Mayo pulls many of his flyballs (40.1% — 97th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the game’s 6th-shallowest LF 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.

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

  • Tampa Bay Rays – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-140)
    With 8 batters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Steven Matz faces a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s outing.
    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.
  • Taylor Walls – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
    Taylor Walls’s average exit velocity has fallen off this year; his 86.4-mph mark last season has fallen to 81.7-mph.
    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.
  • Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the least strikeout-prone lineup today is the Tampa Bay Rays with a 19% underlying K%.
    Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
