San Francisco Giants Insights

• San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+120)
  Adrian Houser was firing on all cylinders in his last outing and conceded 1 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Casey Schmitt – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Casey Schmitt has made notable improvements with his Barrel%, improving his 9.1% rate last season to 14.7% this year.
  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 San Francisco Giants have 3 hitters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Rafael Devers, Daniel Susac, Willy Adames).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Athletics Insights

• Athletics – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-155)
  Jeffrey Springs is an extreme flyball pitcher (38.1% FB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) and is stuck pitching in the #7 HR venue among all major league stadiums in this game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Nick Kurtz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Nick Kurtz has seen a sizeable increase in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 94.9-mph average to last year’s 92.7-mph average.
  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.
• Athletics – 2H Moneyline
  The Athletics bullpen ranks as the 5th-worst in MLB, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
