Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Cincinnati Reds – Moneyline (+100)
  Out of all the teams today, the 2nd-best infield defense belongs to the Cincinnati Reds.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Hector Rodriguez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-190/+145)
  Hector Rodriguez is penciled in 1st in the lineup in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 100% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
  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 done a good job as a team optimizing their launch angles on their hardest-contacted balls. Their 16.1° angle is among the highest in Major League Baseball since the start of last season (#2 overall).
  Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• Logan Webb – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+130/-170)
  Logan Webb has been given more leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 5.3 more adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Christian Koss – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Christian Koss’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased this season; his 91.5-mph average last year has lowered to 87.3-mph.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• The 7.4% Barrel% of the San Francisco Giants grades them out as the #22 offense in Major League Baseball this year by this stat.
  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.
