San Francisco Giants Insights

  • Landen Roupp – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
    Given that groundball hitters perform worse against groundball pitchers, Landen Roupp (47% GB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) is well-situated in this game with 2 GB hitters in the opposing team’s projected offense.
    Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
  • Willy Adames – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
    In the last 7 days, Willy Adames’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 10.4% down to 0%.
    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.
  • Matt Chapman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+165/-215)
    Matt Chapman hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.8% — 91st percentile) and will be challenged by the league’s 9th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

  • Griffin Jax – Over/Under 2.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
    Griffin Jax has been lucky in regards to his strikeouts since the start of last season, putting up a 12.92 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 10.20 — a 2.72 K/9 disparity.
    Explain: Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value on K prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
  • Taylor Walls – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
    Taylor Walls’s average exit velocity has decreased this season; his 86.4-mph figure last season has lowered to 81.2-mph.
    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.
  • Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (-110)
    The Tampa Bay Rays projected lineup grades out as the 3rd-worst of all teams on the slate today in terms of overall batting skill.
    Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
