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.
• Alejandro Kirk – Over/Under Hits
  Alejandro Kirk has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (92% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th 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 least strikeout-heavy lineup in today’s games is the Toronto Blue Jays with a 19.2% 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.
