Baltimore Orioles

Houston Astros Insights

• Houston Astros – Moneyline (+120)
  Out of every team on the slate today, the best infield defense is that of the Houston Astros.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
  Baltimore’s 3rd-worst outfield defense of all teams on the slate creates a favorable matchup for Yordan Alvarez, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Brandon Young – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
  Brandon Young has been given a shorter leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 9.1 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Tyler O’Neill – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+135)
  Tyler O’Neill has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (67% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th in the lineup 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.
• Tyler O’Neill – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+165/-215)
  Tyler O’Neill pulls many of his flyballs (37.5% — 92nd percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 4th-deepest LF fences today.
  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.
