• Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Today, Zach Neto is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 9th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 37.8% rate (94th 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.

Miami Marlins Insights

• Tyler Phillips – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
  Compared to the average hurler, Tyler Phillips has been granted a shorter leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing an -21.3 fewer adjusted pitches each outing.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Otto Lopez – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+180/-235)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Otto Lopez as the 6th-best batter in the league when assessing 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 3 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Kyle Stowers, Griffin Conine, Owen Caissie).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
