(+100/-120)+120

Parker Messick – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
Parker Messick’s 2148-rpm fastball spin rate this year is in the 7th percentile among all starters.
Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Steven Kwan – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-190/+145)
Steven Kwan’s average exit velocity has decreased this year; his 86.3-mph average last year has lowered to 82.3-mph.
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.
Kyle Manzardo – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
In today’s matchup, Kyle Manzardo is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 6th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38.1% rate (80th percentile).
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
Because groundball hitters have a substantial advantage over flyball pitchers, Kumar Rocker and his 47.4% underlying GB% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be in a troublesome position in today’s outing being matched up with 2 opposing GB batters.
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.
Corey Seager – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+135)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Corey Seager’s true offensive skill to be a .368, indicating that he has suffered from bad luck this year given the .089 gap between that figure and his actual .279 wOBA.
Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the team with the 5th-most strikeout-heavy lineup in today’s games is the Texas Rangers with a 23.7% underlying K%.
Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the most inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
