Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Nick Martinez – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
  Nick Martinez has recorded 18 outs per GS this year, ranking in the 92nd 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.
• Chandler Simpson – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+165/-220)
  Chandler Simpson is an extreme groundball hitter and matches up with the strong infield defense of Boston (#3-best of the day).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (+110)
  The Tampa Bay Rays projected batting order ranks as the 4th-worst of all teams today in terms of overall batting skill.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Payton Tolle – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  Payton Tolle’s high usage rate of his fastball (63.2% since the start of last season) is likely dampening his results, consider they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• Masataka Yoshida – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Masataka Yoshida has negatively regressed with his Barrel%; his 6.7% rate last year has lowered to 0% this season.
  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.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen profiles as the 5th-best out of all teams in the majors.
  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.
