Boston Red Sox

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Tyler O’Neill – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
  Tyler O’Neill has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (53% of the time), but he is projected to hit 4th in the lineup in this game.
  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.
• The Baltimore Orioles have 4 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jackson Holliday, Johnathan Rodriguez, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Tyler O’Neill).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Eduardo Rivera – Over/Under 9.5 Pitching Outs (+125/-160)
  Eduardo Rivera has been given a shorter leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 10.3 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Andruw Monasterio – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Andruw Monasterio has seen a big increase in his exit velocity recently; just compare his 95-mph average in the last 14 days to his seasonal 89-mph average.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen grades out as the 10th-best among all MLB 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.
