Kansas City Royals Insights

• Noah Cameron – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
  Compared to average, Noah Cameron has been given an above-average leash this year, throwing an extra 4.6 adjusted pitches each game.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Bobby Witt Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  Typically, bats like Bobby Witt Jr. who hit a lot of flyballs are generally less successful when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Payton Tolle.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• The Kansas City Royals have 3 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jac Caglianone, Matthew Lugo, Luke Maile).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Payton Tolle – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  Given his reverse platoon split, Payton Tolle will hold the advantage going up against 7 hitters in the projected batting order who bat from the opposite side in today’s outing.
  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.
• Trevor Story – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+140)
  Trevor Story has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (74% of the time), but he is penciled in 6th in the batting order in today’s game.
  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.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  The Boston Red Sox bullpen profiles as the 9th-best in the majors, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
