Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Justin Wrobleski – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
  Among all SPs, Justin Wrobleski’s fastball spin rate of 2458 rpm is in the 84th percentile this year.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Tommy Edman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-190/+145)
  Tommy Edman is projected to hit 7th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 57% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.
  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.
• Los Angeles Dodgers – Moneyline (-165)
  The 3rd-best projected batting order of all teams today in terms of overall batting skill is that of the the Los Angeles Dodgers.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

  Brady Singer has been given a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 3.7 more adjusted pitches-per-game than the average hurler.

  Elly De La Cruz has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 94.4-mph average to last year’s 90.7-mph EV.
  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.
• Cincinnati Reds – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cincinnati Reds’ bullpen ranks as the 6th-worst out of all the teams in the majors.
