Cincinnati Reds Insights
- Brady Singer – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)Brady Singer’s fastball velocity has dropped 1.1 mph this year (90.5 mph) below where it was last season (91.6 mph).Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.
- Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)Eugenio Suarez’s average exit velocity has dropped off lately; his 85.3-mph seasonal mark has fallen off to 80.2-mph in the last week’s worth of games.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.
- Sal Stewart – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+140)In today’s matchup, Sal Stewart is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 6th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 38% rate (97th 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.
San Diego Padres Insights
- Michael King – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-175/+135)Michael King has averaged 93.2 adjusted pitches per GS this year, grading out in the 81st percentile.Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Manny Machado – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)Manny Machado has been unlucky this year, putting up a .260 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .333 — a .073 gap.Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
- San Diego Padres – Moneyline (-165)The 3rd-worst projected batting order on the slate in terms of overall hitting skill belongs to the San Diego Padres.Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
