Currently sitting second in the National League Central with a solid 64-46 record, the Cubs are in the midst of an impressive season. In contrast, the Orioles find themselves at a disappointing 51-60, languishing near the bottom of the American League East. In yesterday&#8217;s matchup, the Cubs continued their strong momentum, showcasing their offensive prowess against the Orioles.<\/p>\n<p>In this Interleague series, the Cubs are projected to start Colin Rea, whose 8-5 record and <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.25<\/a> ERA highlight his capacity to compete, despite being ranked as the 248th best starting pitcher in MLB. However, Rea has been somewhat lucky this season, as suggested by his higher 4.91 xERA, indicating a possible decline in performance. On the opposite mound, the Orioles will send out Brandon Young, still searching for his first win with a 0-5 record and an alarming <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">6.63<\/a> ERA. Young&#8217;s projections suggest he might see some improvement, but his struggles have been evident.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the Cubs are among the league&#8217;s elite, ranking 3rd in team batting average and home runs, as well as 3rd in stolen bases. In contrast, the Orioles sit at a middling 16th overall in offense, lacking the firepower to consistently challenge top-tier pitching. The Cubs&#8217; high-flying offense will be looking to capitalize on Young&#8217;s flyball tendencies, knowing they have the potential to turn those flyballs into home runs.<\/p>\n<p>With a Game Total of 8.0 runs, the Cubs are heavy favorites with a moneyline of -185, representing an implied team total of 4.57 runs. If Chicago&#8217;s strong form holds, they may well add another win to their record against the struggling Orioles.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Baltimore Orioles Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Brandon Young &#8211; Over\/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+120\/-155)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Brandon Young has been given less leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 12.6 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than league average.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Colton Cowser &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125\/-105)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)&#8217;s version of Expected HR per 600 plate appearances (19.6) suggests that Colton Cowser has experienced some positive variance this year with his 26.9 actual HR\/600.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player&#8217;s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong><\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">The Baltimore Orioles have 3 bats in their projected offense today with a high (i.e.  over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Colton Cowser, Alex Jackson, Coby Mayo).<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts <\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Chicago Cubs Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Colin Rea &#8211; Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115\/-145)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Colin Rea&#8217;s four-seam fastball percentage has jumped by 24% from last season to this one (19.9% to 43.9%) .<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Dansby Swanson &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-180\/+140)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">Dansby Swanson has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (57% of the time), but he is projected to hit 9th in the lineup in today&#8217;s game.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market.
