Seattle Mariners Insights

• Bryan Woo – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-185/+140)
  Tallying 17.3 outs per start this year on average, Bryan Woo falls in the 85th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Cal Raleigh – Over/Under Total Bases
  Extreme groundball batters like Cal Raleigh tend to be more successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Hunter Brown.
  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.
• Bryan Woo – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  Projected catcher Cal Raleigh profiles as an elite pitch framer, per 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).

Houston Astros Insights

• Hunter Brown – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Hunter Brown’s sinker utilization has increased by 5% from last season to this one (23.6% to 28.6%) .
  Explain: Sinkers are the easiest pitches to hit and generate the fewest strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his sinker more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
• Christian Walker – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+130)
  Christian Walker has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (90% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the lineup in this game.
  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.
• Houston Astros – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Houston Astros’ bullpen profiles as the 2nd-best out of 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.
