Miami Marlins Insights

• Janson Junk – Over/Under 2.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  With 6 bats who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Janson Junk will be in a tough position while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s outing.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Agustin Ramirez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-150/+120)
  Agustin Ramirez is projected to bat 7th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 76% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Miami Marlins – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen profiles as the 10th-worst among all the teams in the game.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Arizona Diamondbacks Insights

• Lars Nootbaar – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Lars Nootbaar has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 92-mph to 96.4-mph in the last two weeks.
  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.
• Lars Nootbaar – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Lars Nootbaar hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.7% — 99th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the league’s 3rd-deepest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
