Atlanta Braves Insights
- Martin Perez – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)Compared to the average pitcher, Martin Perez has been granted a shorter leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing an -8.5 fewer adjusted pitches each start.Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
- Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)Extreme flyball hitters like Ozzie Albies are generally less successful against extreme flyball pitchers like JP Sears.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.
- The Atlanta Braves have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jorge Mateo, Joey Bart, Austin Riley).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
San Diego Padres Insights
- JP Sears – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-170/+130)The Atlanta Braves have 6 hitters in the projected batting order that will hold the platoon advantage over JP Sears today, which is especially problematic given his large platoon split.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.
- Samad Taylor – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)Samad Taylor has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (69% of the time), but he is penciled in 2nd on the lineup card in today’s game.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.
- San Diego Padres – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Diego Padres’ bullpen grades out as the 5th-best out of all major league teams.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.
