Texas Rangers Insights

  • Nathan Eovaldi – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Nathan Eovaldi in the 82nd percentile when assessing his strikeout ability.
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
  • Nicky Lopez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
    Toronto’s #3-ranked outfield defense on the slate today poses a formidable challenge for Nicky Lopez, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
    Josh Jung hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.9% — 98th percentile) and is fortunate to face the game’s 10th-shallowest CF 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.

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

  • Toronto Blue Jays – Moneyline (-110)
    Among every team in action today, the 3rd-best infield defense is that of the Toronto Blue Jays.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Jesus Sanchez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
    Jesus Sanchez has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (72% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th in the batting order today.
    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.
  • Via the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the 2nd-least strikeout-heavy lineup in today’s games is the Toronto Blue Jays with a 19.3% underlying K%.
    Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
