Chicago Cubs Insights<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Colin Rea – Over\/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-105\/-125)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Colin Rea to have a pitch count today, projecting a maximum of 81 pitches.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Michael Conforto – Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110\/-120)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Michael Conforto is likely to have the upper hand against every reliever for the game’s entirety, since the bullpen of the Tampa Bay Rays only has 1 same-handed RP.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    <\/strong><\/div>\n
    Chicago Cubs hitters jointly grade out 5th- in Major League Baseball for power since the start of last season when using their 10% Barrel%.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Tampa Bay Rays Insights<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Tampa Bay Rays – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-125)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Joe Boyle has suffered from bad luck when it comes to his ERA since the start of last season; his 4.40 figure is a fair amount higher than his 3.80 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching, an estimator of ERA that focuses on the things a pitcher has the most control over).<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Yandy Diaz – Over\/Under 1.5 Hits (+190\/-250)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Yandy Diaz is an extreme groundball batter and matches up with the strong infield defense of Chicago (#2-best of all teams today).<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Yandy Diaz – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120\/-150)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Yandy Diaz has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (44.2%) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the league’s 5th-shallowest RF fences today.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • \n
        Tampa Bay Rays – Over\/Under 3.5 Team Total (-140\/+110)<\/strong><\/div>\n
        The Tampa Bay Rays have hit the Team Total Over in 19 of their last 30 games (+7.05 Units \/ 20% ROI)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Chicago Cubs – Over\/Under 3.5 Team Total (-140\/+110)<\/strong><\/div>\n
        The Chicago Cubs have hit the Team Total Under in 10 of their last 15 away games (+4.70 Units \/ 27% ROI)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Dansby Swanson – Over\/Under 0.5 Singles (+145\/-185)<\/strong><\/div>\n
        Dansby Swanson has hit the Singles Under in 19 of his last 25 games (+9.10 Units \/ 24% ROI)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
