New York Mets Insights

  • Nolan McLean – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
    In his previous game started, Nolan McLean performed well and posted 8 strikeouts.
    Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
  • New York Mets bats collectively rank among the best in Major League Baseball this year (7th-) when assessing their 89.3-mph average exit velocity.
    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.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

  • Foster Griffin – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-150/+115)
    Foster Griffin has been granted an above-average leash this year, throwing 4.5 more adjusted pitches-per-start than average.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Nate Lowe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
    Nathaniel Lowe has negatively regressed with his Barrel% recently; his 9.8% seasonal rate has lowered to 0% over the past 14 days.
    Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
  • Nate Lowe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
    Nathaniel Lowe has a 94th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.5%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them out towards the league’s 3rd-shallowest LF 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.
