Toronto Blue Jays

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Cincinnati Reds – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+120)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects that Nick Lodolo will give up an average of 2.69 earned runs in this 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.
• Elly De La Cruz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Elly De La Cruz has seen a big gain in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 94.3-mph average to last year’s 90.7-mph mark.
  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 9.5% Barrel% of the Cincinnati Reds ranks them as the #2 group of hitters in the league this year by this stat.
  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.

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• José Soriano – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  The Cincinnati Reds have 6 bats in the projected offense that will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Jose Soriano in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been unlucky this year, compiling a .306 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .362 — a .056 disparity.
  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.
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.6% — 88th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing baseball’s 10th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.
