New York Yankees Insights

  • Carlos Rodon – Over/Under 12.5 Pitching Outs (+120/-155)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Carlos Rodon to be limited in today’s game, projecting a maximum of 69 pitches.
    Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
  • Austin Wells – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
    Austin Wells is an extreme flyball batter and faces the weak outfield defense of Baltimore (#3-worst on the slate).
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
  • The New York Yankees have 3 hitters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Spencer Jones, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Ryan McMahon).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Baltimore Orioles Insights

  • Shane Baz – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
    Shane Baz has used his curveball 5.8% more often this year (32.7%) than he did last year (26.9%).
    Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
  • Coby Mayo – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
    Coby Mayo is penciled in 4th on the lineup card today, which would be an upgrade from his 76% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • Baltimore Orioles – 2H Moneyline
    The Baltimore Orioles bullpen ranks as the 2nd-worst in the game, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
    Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
