New York Yankees Insights

• Luis Gil – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+130/-165)
  With a 1.84 discrepancy between Luis Gil’s 6.47 K/9 and his 8.31 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the least fortunate pitchers in the league since the start of last season as it relates to strikeouts and figures to positively regress going forward.
  Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value on K prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
• Giancarlo Stanton – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-165)
  This year, Giancarlo Stanton’s Barrel% has decreased significantly, dropping from 21.2% last year to just 13.3% this year.
  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.
• New York Yankees bats jointly grade out in baseball for power since the start of last season when judging by their 12.1% Barrel%.
  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.

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Steven Matz – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  Steven Matz wasn’t on when it came to striking hitters out in his last outing and accumulated 2 Ks.
  Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
• Chandler Simpson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  There has been a decrease in Chandler Simpson’s average exit velocity this season, from 84.1 mph last year to 81.4 mph now
  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.
• Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (44.3%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them out towards the game’s 5th-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.
