As the MLB season rolls on will look to incorporate a few different angles to bet on.  Today let’s take a dive into the First Five Team Total Runs market.  The F5 market is a great one to target starting pitchers as there is more consistency without the bullpen becoming a factor.  Today let’s look at a team whose bats have come alive over the past week, the New York Yankees.

On the season, the Yankees are averaging the 3rd most runs per game with 4.85 with 2.65 runs per F5.  However, over the past 7 games, the Yankees are over this line in 5 out of 7 while averaging 3.86 runs per F5:




Tonight’s opposing pitcher is Carlos Hernandez.  In his three starts this season he has allowed 10 ER and 20 hits in 14 innings pitched.  He has allowed 2 of 3 teams to hit 3 runs in their F5.  He has been allowing success to both sides of the plate with a .311 wOBA to LH’s and a .494 to RH’s.  The Yankees first five hitters tonight vs RHP’s, which includes 4 RH’s:

LeMahieu - .331 wOBA
Judge - .371 wOBA
Rizzo - .408 ISO and .449 wOBA
Stanton - .345 wOBA
Donaldson - .324 wOBA 

Bet: New York Yankees o2.5 First Five Team Total -105 (DK)
