Atlanta Braves Insights

  • Grant Holmes – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
    Checking in at the 77th percentile, Grant Holmes compiled a 12.1% Swinging Strike% this year.
    Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
  • Austin Riley – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
    Austin Riley has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity recently; just compare his 101.8-mph average in the last week to his seasonal 91.3-mph average.
    Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
  • Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
    Ozzie Albies pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (40% — 97th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards baseball’s 5th-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.

Chicago White Sox Insights

  • Anthony Kay – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
    Tallying 14.6 outs per game per started this year on average, Anthony Kay places him the 23rd percentile.
    Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
  • Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
    Atlanta’s 3rd-worst outfield defense of all teams on the slate creates a favorable matchup for Miguel Vargas, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
  • Ranking 2nd-steepest in the league since the start of last season, Chicago White Sox batters as a unit have put up a 16.1° launch angle on their hardest-contacted balls (an advanced stat to study power skills).
    Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.
