Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Tyler O’Neill – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
  Tyler O’Neill is penciled in 4th in the lineup in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 55% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
  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 Orioles – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Baltimore Orioles’ bullpen grades out as the 8th-worst out of all the teams in the majors.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (-150)
  The Boston Red Sox outfield defense grades out as the best among every team in action today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Wilyer Abreu – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  The Baltimore Orioles have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Wilyer Abreu can likely count on never losing the platoon advantage against the ‘pen all game.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• Jarren Duran – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)
  Jarren Duran has a 94th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.5%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them out towards the game’s 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.
