Seattle Mariners Insights

• Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
  Logan Gilbert’s 2224-rpm spin rate on his fastball this year is a significant 109-rpm spike from last season’s 2115-rpm mark.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his spin rate will likely see improved results.
• Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Extreme flyball bats like Cal Raleigh tend to perform worse against extreme flyball pitchers like Max Scherzer.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Seattle Mariners – 2H Moneyline
  The Seattle Mariners bullpen projects as the 5th-best in MLB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Toronto Blue Jays – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+115)
  Max Scherzer is an extreme flyball pitcher (42.2% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) and has the misfortune of pitching in the #7 HR venue in MLB in this game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Alejandro Kirk – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
  Alejandro Kirk is projected to hit 9th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 85% 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.
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.8% — 90th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the game’s 10th-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.
