San Diego Padres Insights

• Walker Buehler – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  Walker Buehler’s 2169-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 22nd percentile among all starters.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Ty France – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
  Ty France has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 92.5-mph average to last year’s 89.6-mph EV.
  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.
• Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
  In today’s matchup, Fernando Tatis Jr. is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 3rd-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 40.3% rate (99th percentile).
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Arizona Diamondbacks – Moneyline (-110)
  The 4th-worst projected offense of all teams on the slate today in terms of overall batting ability belongs to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
