San Diego Padres

Arizona Diamondbacks Insights

• Michael Soroka – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  Michael Soroka’s higher usage percentage of his secondary pitches this year (57.5% vs. 45% last year) should work in his favor considering they are generally much more effective than fastballs.
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Nolan Arenado – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  Despite posting a .345 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Nolan Arenado has experienced some positive variance given the .051 gap between that figure and his estimated true talent wOBA of .294.
  Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
• Tim Tawa – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Tim Tawa hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.8% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the league’s 2nd-shallowest CF fences today.
  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.

San Diego Padres Insights

• Dustin Harris – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
  Dustin Harris is penciled in 1st in the lineup today, which would be an upgrade from his 60% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• The underlying talent of the San Diego Padres projected batting order today (.300 projected wOBA via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be quite a bit weaker than their .313 wOBA this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
