Cleveland Guardians Insights
- Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)Joey Cantillo’s higher usage percentage of his secondary pitches this year (65% compared to 57.6% last year) figures to work in his favor since they are generally much more effective than fastballs.Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
- Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)Jose Ramirez pulls many of his flyballs (43% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 8th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.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.
Cincinnati Reds Insights
- Brady Singer – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)Out of all starting pitchers, Brady Singer’s fastball velocity of 90.7 mph is in the 4th percentile this year.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Tyler Stephenson – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)Tyler Stephenson has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (97% of the time), but he is penciled in 5th on the lineup card today.Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
- The Cincinnati Reds have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Eugenio Suarez, Elly De La Cruz, Ivan Johnson).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
