San Diego Padres

Miami Marlins Insights

• Eury Perez – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Given that groundball pitchers are hit hardest by flyball hitters, Eury Perez (40.9% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in today’s game with 2 FB hitters in San Diego’s projected offense.
  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.
• Heriberto Hernandez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
  This season, Heriberto Hernandez has experienced a significant improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs, now sitting at an average of 96.5 mph compared to last year’s 93.6 mph mark.
  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.
• Miami Marlins – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen ranks as the 2nd-worst among all the teams in MLB.
  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.

San Diego Padres Insights

• Casey Mize – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Casey Mize’s slider percentage has spiked by 12.5% from last season to this one (15.3% to 27.8%) .
  Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
• Xander Bogaerts – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+120)
  Extreme groundball bats like Xander Bogaerts tend to perform better against extreme flyball pitchers like Eury Perez.
  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.
• Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Fernando Tatis Jr. hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.7% — 96th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
