New York Mets Insights

• Freddy Peralta – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
  Compared to the average starter, Freddy Peralta has been granted more leash than the typical pitcher this year, tallying an additional 3.8 adjusted pitches each game.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Luis Torrens – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  In terms of his batting average, Luis Torrens has had some very poor luck since the start of last season. His .222 figure falls considerably below the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .302.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• It may be best to expect positive regression for the New York Mets offense the rest of the season, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the unluckiest offense in baseball 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.

Miami Marlins Insights

• Max Meyer – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Max Meyer has gone to his slider 6.3% more often this year (53.1%) than he did last season (46.8%).
  Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
• Liam Hicks – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  In the last 14 days, Liam Hicks’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 5.7% 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.
• The 6.5% Barrel% of the Miami Marlins grades them out as the #28 team in MLB this year by this stat.
  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.
