Atlanta Braves Insights

• Reynaldo López – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
  Reynaldo Lopez has averaged 14.5 outs per game per started this year, grading out in the 22nd percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Matt Olson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Matt Olson has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 92.7-mph to 95.4-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.
• Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Atlanta Braves’ bullpen profiles as the 9th-worst out of all the teams in MLB.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Chicago Cubs Insights

• David Peterson – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  With 6 batters of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected batting order, David Peterson meets a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s matchup.
  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.
• Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Despite posting a .396 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Pete Crow-Armstrong has had some very good luck given the .043 difference between that mark and his estimated true talent wOBA of .353.
  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.
• Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Pete Crow-Armstrong pulls a lot of his flyballs (42.2% — 99th percentile) and will be challenged by baseball’s 5th-deepest RF 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.
