New York Yankees Insights

• Cam Schlittler – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  Cameron Schlittler’s cut-fastball percentage has risen by 11% from last season to this one (16.4% to 27.4%) .
  Explain: Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
• Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-145)
  Aaron Judge has seen a notable increase in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 97.4-mph average in the past two weeks to his seasonal 93.9-mph figure.
  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.
• Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the most strikeout-heavy lineup in today’s games is the New York Yankees with a 25.5% underlying K%.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the most inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

New York Mets Insights

• New York Mets – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+130)
  In his previous outing, Clay Holmes was in good form and conceded 2 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Luis Torrens – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-115/-115)
  Luis Torrens has experienced some negative variance in regards to his batting average since the start of last season; his .224 figure is a fair amount lower than his .302 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• New York Mets hitters collectively rank among the best in Major League Baseball this year (5th-) when it comes to their 89.8-mph average exit velocity.
  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.
