Houston Astros Insights

  • Ethan Pecko – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
    With 6 bats of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Ethan Pecko will not have the upper hand while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s matchup.
    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.
  • Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
    Seattle’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.
  • Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-185/+140)
    Isaac Paredes pulls a lot of his flyballs (46.3% — 100th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 9th-shallowest LF 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.

Seattle Mariners Insights

  • Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-130)
    The Seattle Mariners infield defense projects as the worst out of all the teams today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
  • Josh Naylor – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
    Josh Naylor has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (85% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th on the lineup card in this game.
    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.
  • The Seattle Mariners have 3 hitters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Lazaro Montes, Cal Raleigh, Weston Wilson).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
