San Francisco Giants Insights

  • San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-120)
    Tyler Mahle has been lucky since the start of last season, posting a 2.49 ERA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 4.11 — a 1.62 discrepancy.
    Explain: Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
  • Casey Schmitt – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+190/-255)
    Casey Schmitt is projected to hit 3rd on the lineup card today, which would be an upgrade from his 67% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen projects as the 4th-worst among all the teams in the league.
    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.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

  • Cincinnati Reds – Moneyline (-110)
    Among all the teams playing today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense is that of the the Cincinnati Reds.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    Eugenio Suarez’s average exit velocity has fallen off in recent games; his 84-mph seasonal EV has lowered to 78.2-mph in the last week’s worth of games.
    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.
  • Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    Eugenio Suarez pulls many of his flyballs (39.5% — 97th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 7th-shallowest LF fences today.
    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.
