Philadelphia Phillies Insights
- Zack Wheeler – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)Zack Wheeler’s 2470-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season grades out in the 88th percentile out of all starting pitchers.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Alec Bohm – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+160/-205)Alec Bohm has been unlucky this year, putting up a .202 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .320 — a .118 discrepancy.Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
- Philadelphia Phillies – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen grades out as the 6th-worst among all the teams in Major League Baseball.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.
Atlanta Braves Insights
- Bryce Elder – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-130/+100)Bryce Elder has recorded 18 outs per outing this year, grading out in the 91st percentile.Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
- Mike Yastrzemski – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-110/-120)Mike Yastrzemski has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (57% of the time), but he is projected to bat 9th in the batting order in this matchup.Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
- Dominic Smith – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+120)Dominic Smith hits many of his flyballs to center field (39% — 94th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the game’s 5th-shallowest CF 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.
