Atlanta Braves Insights
- Reynaldo Lopez – Over/Under Pitching OutsThe leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Reynaldo Lopez to be on a bit of a short leash in this game, projecting a maximum of 75 pitches.Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Ozzie Albies – Over/Under Total BasesAs a switch-hitter who is weaker from the 0 side of the dish, Ozzie Albies will face a mismatch against Trevor McDonald and his large platoon split in today’s matchup.Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Ozzie Albies – Over/Under Total BasesOzzie Albies pulls many of his flyballs (39.3% — 96th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 2nd-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.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 Francisco Giants Insights
- Trevor McDonald – Over/Under StrikeoutsThe Atlanta Braves have 6 batters in the projected offense that will have the handedness advantage over Trevor McDonald in today’s game, which is especially troublesome given his large platoon split.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.
- The San Francisco Giants have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Willy Adames, Bryce Eldridge, Eric Haase).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
