New York Yankees Insights
- Cam Schlittler – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Cameron Schlittler has relied on his fastball a lot since the start of last season, though: 62% of the time, ranking in the 100th percentile.Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
- Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)Aaron Judge’s 95.6-mph average exit velocity is one of the best in baseball since the start of last season: 100th percentile.Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
- The New York Yankees have 4 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jazz Chisholm Jr., Giancarlo Stanton, Austin Wells, Jose Caballero).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
San Francisco Giants Insights
- Robbie Ray – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)Placing in the 83rd percentile, Robbie Ray notched a 12.5% Swinging Strike percentage since the start of last season.Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
- Willy Adames – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)Willy Adames is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of New York (#3-worst on the slate today).Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
- San Francisco Giants – 2H MoneylineThe San Francisco Giants bullpen grades out as the 4th-worst in the majors, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
