Miami Marlins Insights

• Miami Marlins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+115)
  Tyler Phillips was on point in his last game started and conceded 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Griffin Conine – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
  The St. Louis Cardinals have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Griffin Conine has a strong chance of never facing a bullpen mismatch all game.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• Owen Caissie – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Owen Caissie hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.9% — 91st percentile) and is fortunate to face the game’s 7th-shallowest CF 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.

St. Louis Cardinals Insights

• Kyle Leahy – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
  Kyle Leahy projects to average 5.6 hits in this outing, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).

• Lars Nootbaar – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
