San Diego Padres

Arizona Diamondbacks Insights

• Zac Gallen – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  Out of all starters, Zac Gallen’s fastball velocity of 92.8 mph is in the 24th percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Corbin Carroll – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Corbin Carroll has been hot lately, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.5-mph to 98.2-mph in the last 7 days.
  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.
• Gabriel Moreno – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Gabriel Moreno has a 99th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (40.2%) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball’s 6th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
  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.

San Diego Padres Insights

• Despite technically being the “starter” in today’s matchup, German Marquez may not pitch more than a couple frames consider he will be treated as more of an opener.
  Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
• Samad Taylor – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Samad Taylor’s true offensive ability to be a .284, suggesting that he has had positive variance on his side this year given the .081 disparity between that mark and his actual .365 wOBA.
  Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
• The San Diego Padres have been the 2nd-unluckiest offense in MLB this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to positively regress the rest of the season
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
