Boston Red Sox

Washington Nationals Insights

• Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline
  The Washington Nationals bullpen ranks as the 4th-worst in the league, according to 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.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Connelly Early – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  The Washington Nationals have 6 hitters in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage over Connelly Early in today’s game.
  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.
• Wilyer Abreu – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  Wilyer Abreu is an extreme flyball hitter and faces the strong outfield defense of Washington (#2-best of all teams today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Romy Gonzalez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Romy Gonzalez has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (38%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them out towards the league’s 3rd-shallowest RF 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.
