Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Kyle Bradish – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Kyle Bradish’s high usage percentage of his fastball (51.5% this year) is likely harming his results, since 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 pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• Coby Mayo – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-175/+135)
  Coby Mayo has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (81% of the time), but he is projected to hit 5th in the lineup today.
  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 8th-worst in baseball, 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.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Cincinnati Reds – Moneyline (-110)
  Out of every team today, the worst outfield defense is that of the Cincinnati Reds.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Nate Lowe – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+175/-230)
  The Baltimore Orioles have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Nathaniel Lowe stands a good chance of holding the advantage against every reliever all game.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• Nate Lowe – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+175/-230)
  Nathaniel Lowe has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.2%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them out towards MLB’s 8th-shallowest LF 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.
