Miami Marlins Insights
- Max Meyer – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)Out of all starting pitchers, Max Meyer’s fastball spin rate of 2596 rpm grades out in the 99th percentile this year.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Otto Lopez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-265/+200)When it comes to his batting average skill, Otto Lopez is projected as the 10th-best batter in the majors by the leading projection system (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. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
- The 6.5% Barrel% of the Miami Marlins ranks them as the #28 group of hitters in baseball this year by this standard.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
Pittsburgh Pirates Insights
- Paul Skenes – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+120/-155)Paul Skenes has been given a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 8.3 more adjusted pitches-per-game than the average hurler.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Spencer Horwitz – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)Spencer Horwitz is projected to bat 1st in the batting order in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 61% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
- Henry Davis – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)Henry Davis pulls many of his flyballs (38.2% — 95th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of baseball’s 10th-deepest LF fences today.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.
