Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Christian Encarnacion-Strand – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-190/+145)
  Christian Encarnacion-Strand has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (56% of the time), but he is projected to bat 4th on the lineup card in today’s game.
  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’s 89.7-mph average exit velocity this year is among the best in MLB: #1 overall.
  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.

New York Mets Insights

• Francisco Alvarez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Francisco Alvarez has seen a sizeable gain in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 97.4-mph average over the last two weeks to his seasonal 90.5-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.
• Juan Soto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Juan Soto hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.5% — 96th percentile) and is fortunate to face MLB’s shallowest CF fences today.
  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.
