Cincinnati Reds Insights
- Brady Singer – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)Brady Singer’s fastball velocity has dropped 1.1 mph this year (90.5 mph) below where it was last season (91.6 mph).Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.
- Sal Stewart – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)Sal Stewart has seen a sizeable gain in his exit velocity recently; just compare his 99.2-mph average in the last 7 days to his seasonal 90-mph figure.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.
- Dane Myers – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)Dane Myers hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (41% — 100th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards MLB’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.
San Diego Padres Insights
- Michael King – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-155/+120)Michael King has averaged 93.2 adjusted pitches per GS this year, grading out in the 82nd percentile.Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Manny Machado – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)Manny Machado has been unlucky this year, putting up a .256 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .333 — a .077 gap.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.
- The San Diego Padres have been the 3rd-unluckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to positively regress the rest of the seasonExplain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
