Kansas City Royals Insights

• Kansas City Royals – Moneyline (+130)
  The Kansas City Royals infield defense profiles as the strongest out of every team today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Michael Massey – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Michael Massey is an extreme flyball hitter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of New York (#2-worst of all teams on the slate).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Kansas City Royals’ bullpen profiles as the 10th-worst out of all the teams in Major League Baseball.
  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.

New York Yankees Insights

• Ryan Weathers – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Ryan Weathers is expected to tally an average of 17.2 outs in today’s game.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
• Ben Rice – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Ben Rice has made big improvements with his Barrel%, improving his 15.8% rate last season to 22.5% this season.
  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.
• Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Aaron Judge hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.9% — 93rd percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the league’s 5th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
