Miami Marlins Insights

• Max Meyer – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  With 6 hitters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected offense, Max Meyer will have a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s game.
  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.
• Xavier Edwards – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+190/-255)
  Extreme flyball hitters like Xavier Edwards usually hit worse against extreme flyball pitchers like Andrew Alvarez.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Otto Lopez – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+175/-230)
  When estimating his overall offensive talent, Otto Lopez ranks in the 84th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.

Washington Nationals Insights

• Washington Nationals – Moneyline (-110)
  The Washington Nationals infield defense grades out as the 2nd-weakest among all the teams playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Dylan Crews – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+145)
  Dylan Crews is projected to bat 6th on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be a downgrade from his 80% 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.
• It may be smart to expect worse numbers for the Washington Nationals offense in future games, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are the luckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year.
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
