    Reynaldo Lopez has averaged 14.5 outs per game per started this year, grading out in the 21st percentile.

    Matt Olson has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 92.7-mph to 96.8-mph in the last week’s worth of games.

Chicago Cubs Insights

  • David Peterson – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
    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 (-120/-110)
    Despite posting a .393 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Pete Crow-Armstrong has had some very good luck given the .040 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 (-120/-110)
    Pete Crow-Armstrong pulls a lot of his flyballs (42.3% — 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.
