Houston Astros Insights
- Carlos Correa – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-190/+145)Carlos Correa is penciled in 6th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 100% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.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 underlying talent of the Houston Astros projected batting order today (.320 projected wOBA via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be significantly weaker than their .356 wOBA this year.Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
Seattle Mariners Insights
- Emerson Hancock – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (+100/-130)Emerson Hancock projects to average 1.6 walks in this outing, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
- Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)Cal Raleigh’s average exit velocity has dropped off this year; his 90.8-mph average last year has dropped off to 82.9-mph.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.
- Seattle Mariners – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Seattle Mariners’ bullpen profiles as the 9th-best among all major league teams.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.
