Toronto Blue Jays

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Kyle Bradish – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  Kyle Bradish’s high utilization percentage of his fastball (53.4% this year) is likely weakening his results, consider 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 Total Bases
  Coby Mayo has seen a substantial increase in his exit velocity this year; just compare his 91.3-mph average to last season’s 87.5-mph average.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• The Baltimore Orioles have 4 batters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Coby Mayo, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Heston Kjerstad, Colton Cowser).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Toronto Blue Jays – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+100)
  Out of all starting pitchers, Spencer Miles’s fastball velocity of 95.1 mph ranks in the 79th percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s true offensive talent to be a .363, implying that he has had bad variance on his side this year given the .063 deviation between that mark and his actual .300 wOBA.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• Toronto Blue Jays – 2H Moneyline
  The Toronto Blue Jays bullpen profiles as the 10th-best in the majors, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
