Atlanta Braves Insights
- Bryce Elder – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)Among all starting pitchers, Bryce Elder’s fastball velocity of 90.7 mph grades out in the 5th percentile this year.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Dominic Smith – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-190/+145)Dominic Smith has been cold recently, with his seasonal exit velocity of 87.6-mph dropping to 78.8-mph in the past two weeks’ worth of games.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.
- Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)Ozzie Albies pulls many of his flyballs (39.3% — 96th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 2nd-shallowest RF 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.
San Francisco Giants Insights
- Logan Webb – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)Given that groundball pitchers are least effective against flyball hitters, Logan Webb (53.4% GB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in this game with 2 FB hitters in Atlanta’s projected lineup.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.
- The San Francisco Giants have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Willy Adames, Eric Haase, Bryce Eldridge).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
