Miami Marlins Insights
- Eury Perez – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)Eury Perez’s 2662-rpm fastball spin rate this year grades out in the 100th percentile among all SPs.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Connor Norby – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+225/-305)Connor Norby’s average exit velocity has dropped off this season; his 88.2-mph average last year has fallen off to 86-mph.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.
- Heriberto Hernandez – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+255/-360)Heriberto Hernandez pulls many of his flyballs (34.5% — 80th percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 3rd-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.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.
Atlanta Braves Insights
- Grant Holmes – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)Compared to the average hurler, Grant Holmes has been given more leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, tallying an extra 3.9 adjusted pitches each start.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Mike Yastrzemski – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)Extreme groundball batters like Mike Yastrzemski tend to be less successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Eury Perez.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 underlying talent of the Atlanta Braves projected offense today (.319 projected wOBA per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be a good deal weaker than their .330 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.
