The Overnight

Yandy Díaz★
Yandy Díaz put up 2-for-5, HR, 2B, 3 K for TB in Game 4 of the AL League Championship Series — worth +1.58 runs of value (runs added at the plate vs. an average game), the best mark among the players we track for October 17. He's in the Index — tracked, not flagged — and his page explains exactly why.

The Fever lines
Everyone we track who played, ranked by night value (runs added or prevented, RE24). The chip says why he’s here: a board flag, a filed call, or the Index — tracked, not flagged. Negative is normal — an out costs run expectancy, so about half of any night lands below zero, and zero is an average night, not a bad one. What it means.
