  Out of all the teams in action today, the strongest infield defense is that of the the Kansas City Royals.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Salvador Perez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Extreme flyball hitters like Salvador Perez usually hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like Kumar Rocker.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
  The Kansas City Royals bullpen ranks as the 6th-worst in the majors, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  Because flyball batters hold a substantial edge over groundball pitchers, Kumar Rocker and his 48.2% underlying GB% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT) finds himself in a troublesome position in this matchup going up against 3 opposing GB bats.
  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.
• Alejandro Osuna – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-185/+140)
  This year, Alejandro Osuna’s Barrel% has decreased significantly, dropping from 6% last year to just 0% this year.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Josh Jung hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.1% — 98th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 6th-deepest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
