Cincinnati Reds Insights
- Rhett Lowder – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)Rhett Lowder’s 91.7-mph fastball velocity this year is in the 17th percentile out of all starters.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+145)Eugenio Suarez is penciled in 6th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 97% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order 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.
- The Cincinnati Reds have 4 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Tyler Stephenson, Matt McLain, Eugenio Suarez, Blake Dunn).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
