Tampa Bay Rays Insights

  • Shane McClanahan – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
    With 7 batters who hit from the other side in the opposing team’s projected offense, Shane McClanahan encounters a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
    Extreme groundball hitters like Yandy Diaz are generally more successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Lake Bachar.
    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.
  • Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
    Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (43.1%) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the league’s 4th-deepest RF fences today.
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Miami Marlins Insights

  • Leonardo Jimenez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-150/+115)
    Leo Jimenez is projected to hit 5th in the lineup in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 89% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup 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.
  • The Miami Marlins have 4 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Heriberto Hernandez, Joe Mack, Connor Norby, Kyle Stowers).
    Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
