Derek Carty, a contributing writer for fantasy baseball at ESPN and four‑time LABR champion, explains that all prop bet recommendations, betting projections and trends are generated by THE BAT X, a system that uses advanced methods from MLB front offices. It accounts for player talent, ballparks, bullpens, weather, umpires, defense, catcher pitch‑framing and more. Betting projections for every player, team and game can be found at EV Analytics.
