Cincinnati Reds

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Garrett Crochet – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-130/+100)
  Garrett Crochet has been given more leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, tallying 8.9 more adjusted pitches-per-outing than the average starter.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen profiles as the 7th-best among all teams in the majors.
  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.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Andrew Abbott – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  With 6 hitters of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected offense, Andrew Abbott will be in a tough position while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this outing.
  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.
• Spencer Steer – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Spencer Steer is an extreme flyball batter and matches up with the strong outfield defense of Boston (#1-best on the slate).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Eugenio Suarez pulls a lot of his flyballs (39.4% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 7th-shallowest LF 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.
