Kansas City Royals Insights<\/h3>\n

  • \n
    Kansas City Royals – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-115)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Considering the 1.35 disparity between Michael Wacha’s 2.69 ERA and his 4.04 FIP, it’s safe to say he’s been one of the luckiest pitchers in the game this year and figures to see worse results in the future.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Jac Caglianone – Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-165\/+125)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Jac Caglianone is penciled in 5th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 85% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline<\/strong><\/div>\n
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Kansas City Royals’ bullpen grades out as the 6th-worst out of all the teams in Major League Baseball.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Texas Rangers Insights<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Jack Leiter – Over\/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115\/-145)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Out of all starters, Jack Leiter’s fastball spin rate of 2449 rpm ranks in the 87th percentile this year.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Ezequiel Duran – Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180\/+135)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      In comparison to his 84.5-mph average last year, Ezequiel Duran’s exit velocity has noticeably risen this season, now sitting at 90.6 mph.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Josh Jung – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130\/-170)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Josh Jung hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.1% \u2014 98th percentile) and will be challenged by the game’s 6th-deepest CF 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
