Minute Maid Park's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest among all major league parks, which often leads to less offense. The Minute Maid Park roof projects to be closed today, making the temperature in this game -11° colder than the average outdoor game on the slate — favorable for pitching. Today, Mauricio Dubon is at a disadvantage facing the league's 8th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 39.2% rate (91st percentile). Last season, Mauricio Dubon had a launch angle of 10.6° on his highest exit velocity balls, but this year he experienced a significant decline to just 6.1°. Mauricio Dubon's ability to hit the ball at a BABIP-maximizing launch angle (between -4° and 26°) has decreased in recent games, going from 45.4% on the season to 32.3% over the past two weeks.

About Units and “ROI”

Units are a standardized measurement used to determine the size of each of your bets relative to your bankroll. For example, if you have a bankroll of $200 and you bet 5% of your bankroll each time, each of your units is worth $10. A bettor with a $2000 bankroll who bets 5% per bet has units of $100. We use the number of units to standardize the amount the trend is up or down across different bet amounts.

ROI is the best indicator of success and measures how much you bet vs. how much you profited. Any positive ROI is good in sports betting with great long-term bettors sitting in the 5-7% range.
