Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Philadelphia Phillies – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-215)
  Cristopher Sanchez turned in a great performance in his previous outing and gave up 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Alec Bohm – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Alec Bohm has negatively regressed with his Barrel% of late; his 5.9% seasonal rate has lowered to 0% in the past 7 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.
• The Philadelphia Phillies have been the 7th-unluckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to perform better the rest of the season
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.

Washington Nationals Insights

• Jackson Kent – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-145/+110)
  Jackson Kent has been given less leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing 9.6 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than league average.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Keibert Ruiz – Over/Under Total Bases
  Keibert Ruiz’s average exit velocity has decreased in recent games; his 87.8-mph seasonal figure has dropped to 79.9-mph in the past 7 days.
  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.
• Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Washington Nationals’ bullpen ranks as the 10th-best out of all teams in the majors.
  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.
