Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Shohei Ohtani – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Shohei Ohtani’s 97-mph fastball velocity this year ranks in the 95th percentile out of all starters.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Teoscar Hernandez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  Over the last week, Teoscar Hernandez’s Barrel% has experienced a surge, jumping from his seasonal rate of 14% up to 28.6%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• The underlying talent of the Los Angeles Dodgers projected lineup today (.342 projected wOBA according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be a fair amount worse than their .366 wOBA this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• Tyler Mahle – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+140/-180)
  As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Tyler Mahle is expected to record an average of 14.2 outs today.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
• Casey Schmitt – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Casey Schmitt has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 96-mph average to last season’s 93.6-mph mark.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen ranks as the 8th-worst out of all the teams in MLB.
  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.
