Athletics Insights

• Athletics – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+120)
  Jacob Lopez is an extreme flyball pitcher (40.9% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) and should be helped pitching in the #21 HR venue among all major league stadiums in this matchup.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Lawrence Butler – Over/Under Hits
  Lawrence Butler has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (69% of the time), but he is projected to bat 3rd in the lineup in this matchup.
  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.
• Jonah Heim – Over/Under Total Bases
  Jonah Heim hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.4% — 95th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards baseball’s 6th-deepest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Cody Bradford – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Cody Bradford has a large reverse platoon split and should be aided by facing 7 opposite-handed bats today.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
