New York Mets Insights

• Nolan McLean – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)

  Mark Vientos has performed at a clip of 0 steals per 600 plate appearances this year, checking in at the 0th percentile for base-stealing.
  Explain: Players who steal bases tend to continue stealing bases (and visa-versa).
• The New York Mets have been the unluckiest offense in the majors this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to positively regress going forward
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
