Cade Cavalli has been dominant in the first inning lately, holding opponents scoreless in eight straight starts while posting an 8-2 NRFI/YRFI record. Joey Cantillo has also been sharp early, and both offenses have struggled to score in the opening frame consistently over the last week.

When it comes to his overall offensive ability, CJ Abrams ranks in the 82nd percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).. CJ Abrams is projected to bat 4th in the batting order in this game.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) ranks Progressive Field as the 4th-best field in baseball for left-handed BABIP.. Built 673 feet above sea level, Progressive Field has the 7th-highest altitude among all major league parks, which generally leads to better offense.. CJ Abrams pulls many of his flyballs (35.1% — 83rd percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the game's 6th-shallowest RF fences in today's matchup.

I'm not getting next-day theoried today with Yandy Díaz, who I'm getting at a better number than yesterday and is still grading as +EV, per the projections at Covers. Over the last two weeks, he has been one of the best bats in baseball, ranking seventh in slugging and third in BlastContact%. He’s ripping extra-base hits right now with six over his last five games and gets a great matchup in a favorable park today. Oriole Park grades as the No. 4 home run environment on the slate, per Ballpark Pal, and Shane Baz is a strong target for dingers. The Baltimore right-hander just saw this Tampa lineup in his last start, so the familiarity edge shifts to the hitters in today’s matchup. He has allowed a home run in seven of his last starts and ranks in the bottom 50 among starters in BlastContact% and HR/FB rate over the last 30 days. This is a buy to +600.

Shane Baz was fortunate to escape with only one run allowed over six frames when he faced the Rays last week. Tampa is tops in the majors in OPS over the last two weeks, and Baz is in the 15th percentile in pitching run value this year.

When it comes to his home run ability, Pete Crow-Armstrong ranks in the 87th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)..

According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Mike Trout ranks as the 5th-best batter in Major League Baseball.. Mike Trout is projected to bat 2nd in the lineup in this game.. Among all major league stadiums, Comerica Park has the 3rd-lowest average fence height.. The weather forecast forecasts the 5th-best hitting weather of all games on the slate today, as it relates to temperature and humidity.. Mike Trout has a ton of pop (99th percentile) if he makes contact, but that's never a sure thing (27% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Keider Montero has a pitch-to-contact profile (24th percentile K%) — great news for Trout.

Yesterday at Sutter Health Park, bettors saw five home runs, and that kind of output could show up again today with Ballpark Pal grading it as the best park on the slate for both home runs and run scoring. Luis Severino has struggled to navigate the park this season, carrying a 5.55 ERA and 2.2 HR/9 at home compared to just 0.5 HR/9 on the road. Seattle starter Emerson Hancock also brings some red flags. He ranks in the bottom 20 among qualified starters in HR/FB rate, and his xERA suggests his current numbers could be headed in the wrong direction after posting an ERA near 5.00 last season compared to this year’s 3.07 mark. THE BAT, still the best projection model in the industry, has this as the highest-scoring game on the slate with 11.23 projected runs and a fair price of -188 on Over 9.5, making it one of the best +EV sides on the board today.

I'm on the market here and wouldn't play this below 7, but at a plus-money price with how the Yankees are swinging lately, I'm inclined to lean towards the Under. The Yankees' offense, one of the best in the sport for long stretches over the past three years, has really struggled lately. It's been held to three runs or fewer in nine of its past 14 games. It should be ugly conditions in Yankee Stadium today, add in Ryan Weathers' strikeout rate, which ranks in the 97th percentile of baseball, and both offenses should stay fairly quiet.

Rasmussen has been a New York Yankees nightmare, posting a 1.03 ERA across eight career outings against the Bronx Bombers. This type of stat is meaningless without context, and we have it here. He's been able to do this because the Yankees are constantly reliant on their power, and Rasmussen is one of the best barrel suppression arms in baseball, sitting in the 96th percentile in such rates this season. Playbale to +100.
