San Diego Padres Insights

• Griffin Canning – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  Compared to the average starting pitcher, Griffin Canning has been given a below-average leash this year, recording an -9.1 fewer adjusted pitches each outing.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Xander Bogaerts – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Typically, bats like Xander Bogaerts who hit a lot of flyballs tend to perform worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
  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.
• Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the 5th-least strikeout-prone lineup today is the San Diego Padres with a 20.8% underlying K%.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Yoshinobu Yamamoto – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s four-seam fastball rate has fallen by 8.8% from last year to this one (35.7% to 26.9%) .
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
• Tommy Edman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  As a switch-hitter who is weaker from the 0 side of the plate, Tommy Edman will be at a disadvantage batting from his bad side against Griffin Canning 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.
• Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
  The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen projects as the 4th-best in Major League Baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
