Seattle Mariners

Atlanta Braves Insights

• Martin Perez – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  Martin Perez is projected to average 2.3 walks in today’s game, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Mike Yastrzemski – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Mike Yastrzemski is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of Seattle (#3-worst of all teams on the slate).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• The underlying talent of the Atlanta Braves projected lineup today (.321 projected wOBA per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be considerably worse than their .347 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.

Seattle Mariners Insights

• Bryan Woo – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  The Atlanta Braves have 6 bats in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage against Bryan Woo in today’s game, which is especially precarious 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.
• J.P. Crawford – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-230/+175)
  J.P. Crawford has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (52% of the time), but he is projected to bat 1st in the lineup in this matchup.
  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.
• Seattle Mariners hitters collectively place 8th- in the league for power this year when assessing with their 9.4% Barrel%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
