Seattle Mariners Insights

• Emerson Hancock – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)
  Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Emerson Hancock has gone to his off-speed and breaking pitches 7.9% more often this year (43.8%) than he did last year (35.9%).
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Brendan Donovan – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Brendan Donovan’s average exit velocity has dropped off recently; his 84.8-mph seasonal mark has dropped to 77.6-mph over the past 7 days.
  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.
• Emerson Hancock – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)
  Projected catcher Cal Raleigh projects as an elite pitch framer, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).

San Diego Padres Insights

• Randy Vasquez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
  Randy Vasquez’s 2388.9-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season is in the 75th percentile out of all starting pitchers.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Jackson Merrill – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
  Jackson Merrill has suffered from bad luck when it comes to his wOBA since the start of last season; his .330 figure is a fair amount lower than his .367 Expected wOBA, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
  Explain: xwOBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s overall hitting ability more accurately than actual wOBA can.
• San Diego Padres – 2H Moneyline
  The San Diego Padres bullpen ranks as the 9th-best in Major League Baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
