Philadelphia Phillies

Miami Marlins Insights

• Sandy Alcantara – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+115/-150)
  Sandy Alcantara has been given a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 6.5 more adjusted pitches-per-start than the average starter.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Otto Lopez – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+160/-205)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Otto Lopez as the 9th-best batter in the game when it comes to his batting average ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• The Miami Marlins have 4 hitters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Owen Caissie, Heriberto Hernandez, Joe Mack, Kyle Stowers).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Andrew Painter – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  The Miami Marlins have 6 hitters in the projected offense that will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Andrew Painter today.
  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.
• Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  Kyle Schwarber has big-time HR ability (100th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s never a guarantee (29.2% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Sandy Alcantara doesn’t generate many whiffs (12th percentile K%) — great news for Schwarber.
  Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
• Philadelphia Phillies – 2H Moneyline
  The Philadelphia Phillies bullpen ranks as the 4th-best in Major League Baseball, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
