St. Louis Cardinals Insights

• Andre Pallante – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Because flyball batters perform worse against flyball pitchers, Andre Pallante (56.8% GB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) is well-situated in this matchup with 3 FB hitters in the opposition’s projected lineup.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Jose Fermin – Over/Under Total Bases
  Jose Fermin has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 86.1-mph dropping to 82.8-mph in the last two weeks’ worth of games.
  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.
• St. Louis Cardinals – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the St. Louis Cardinals’ bullpen grades out as the 10th-best out of all MLB teams.
  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.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• Christian Koss – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Typically, hitters like Christian Koss who hit a lot of groundballs tend to be less successful when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of groundballs such as Andre Pallante.
  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.
• Shay Whitcomb – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  When assessing his overall offensive talent, Shay Whitcomb ranks in the 11th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).
