Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  Because of his reverse platoon split, Joey Cantillo figures to be at an advantage squaring off against 7 bats in the projected batting order who bat from the opposite side in this game.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  Patrick Bailey, the Guardians’s expected catcher in today’s game, grades out as an elite pitch framer according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Braxton Fulford – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-115/-115)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Braxton Fulford in the 7th percentile when assessing his batting average ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
  The Colorado Rockies bullpen projects as the 8th-worst in baseball, via 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.
