Cincinnati Reds

New York Mets Insights

• Kodai Senga – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  Kodai Senga’s fastball velocity has risen 1.4 mph this season (95.4 mph) over where it was last year (94 mph).
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his velocity will likely see improved results.
• New York’s 89.6-mph average exit velocity this year is among the best in baseball: #4 overall.
  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.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Brady Singer – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+115/-150)
  Generating 14.1 outs per outing this year on average, Brady Singer ranks in the 15th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Matt McLain – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
  Matt McLain is penciled in 8th in the lineup in today’s game, which would be a downgrade from his 56% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
  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.
• Nate Lowe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Nathaniel Lowe has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (38%) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 8th-shallowest LF fences today.
  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.
