Houston Astros

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Tristan Gray – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Houston’s 3rd-worst outfield defense of the day creates a favorable matchup for Tristan Gray, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Houston Astros Insights

• Michael Burrows – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
  Mike Burrows has averaged 92 adjusted pitches per outing this year, checking in at the 78th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Cam Smith – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Cam Smith is projected to bat 5th in the batting order today, which would be an upgrade from his 77% 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.
• Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
  Isaac Paredes pulls many of his flyballs (47.3% — 100th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-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.
