San Francisco Giants Insights

  • Robbie Ray – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
    The Los Angeles Dodgers have 7 bats in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage against Robbie Ray today.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Drew Gilbert – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
    Drew Gilbert’s average exit velocity has dropped off of late; his 82.7-mph seasonal mark has lowered to 75.7-mph in the past 14 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.
  • It may be best to expect better results for the San Francisco Giants offense going forward, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are the 2nd-unluckiest offense in MLB this year.
    Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

  • Shohei Ohtani – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)
    Among all starting pitchers, Shohei Ohtani’s fastball velocity of 97.4 mph is in the 96th percentile this year.
    Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
  • Miguel Rojas – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
    Extreme groundball batters like Miguel Rojas tend to perform better against extreme flyball pitchers like Robbie Ray.
    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.
  • Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen profiles as the 2nd-best among all major league teams.
    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.
