Tampa Bay Rays Insights<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Tampa Bay Rays – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+110)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Nick Martinez projects to allow an average of 3.15 earned runs in this game, as forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Jonathan Aranda – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130\/-170)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Jonathan Aranda has struggled with his Barrel% of late; his 9.6% seasonal rate has fallen off to 0% in the past week’s worth of games.<\/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
  • \n
    Junior Caminero – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115\/-145)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Junior Caminero pulls a lot of his flyballs (38.8% \u2014 95th percentile) and will be challenged by MLB’s 10th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Pittsburgh Pirates Insights<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Bubba Chandler – Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-120\/-110)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Bubba Chandler’s high utilization rate of his fastball (55.9% since the start of last season) is likely harming his results, considering they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Ryan O’Hearn – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130\/-170)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Ryan O’Hearn may have an advantage against every reliever from start to finish, since the bullpen of the Tampa Bay Rays has just 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
      The Pittsburgh Pirates (24.1% K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) are projected to have the 5th-most strikeout-prone team of batters on the slate.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
