+100O/U: 8
(-105/-115)-120

Tanner Bibee – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
Tanner Bibee has averaged 93.3 adjusted pitches per game per started this year, checking in at the 83rd percentile.
Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Jo Adell – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)
In the past two weeks, Jo Adell’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 9% 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.
Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Jose Ramirez pulls many of his flyballs (42.8% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 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.

Brandon Young – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
Brandon Young’s higher usage percentage of his fastball this season (53.9 compared to 43.8% last season) is not ideal consider they are generally much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
Coby Mayo – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+120)
Coby Mayo’s average exit velocity has fallen off of late; his 91.3-mph seasonal mark has decreased to 79.9-mph over the last 7 days.
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.
The Baltimore Orioles have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Colton Cowser, Blaze Alexander, Coby Mayo).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
