+100O/U: 8.5
(+100/-120)-120

Landen Roupp – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
Landen Roupp’s 2102-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season is in the 12th percentile among all starters.
Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Patrick Bailey – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
This season, there has been a decline in Patrick Bailey’s speed with his Statcast Sprint Speed dropping from 25.71 ft/sec last year to 24.07 ft/sec currently.
Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
Matt Chapman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
Matt Chapman hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.2% — 95th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Walker Buehler – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Walker Buehler to throw 85 pitches in today’s matchup (8th-most on the slate today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
Explain: Pitchers who throw a lot of pitches are more likely to go deeper into the game, record more outs, and generate more strikeouts.
Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-225/+170)
When it comes to his batting average ability, Fernando Tatis Jr. is projected as the 15th-best batter in MLB by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
It may be smart to expect positive regression for the San Diego Padres offense in the future, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 9th-unluckiest offense in MLB since the start of last season.
Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
