San Diego Padres

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Aaron Nola – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
  Aaron Nola was rolling in his previous start and put up 7 strikeouts.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Justin Crawford – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+135)
  Justin Crawford is an extreme groundball hitter and squares off against the strong infield defense of San Diego (#2-best of all teams on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Philadelphia Phillies – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen projects as the 3rd-best out of all teams in the majors.
  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.

San Diego Padres Insights

• Randy Vasquez – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Randy Vasquez is expected to post an average of 4.1 strikeouts in today’s matchup.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Ramon Laureano – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
  Ramon Laureano is projected to bat 8th on the lineup card in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 60% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
  Fernando Tatis Jr. hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.3% — 99th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
