San Francisco Giants Insights

  • Landen Roupp – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
    Compared to league average, Landen Roupp has been given an above-average leash this year, recording an additional 4.5 adjusted pitches each outing.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.

Pittsburgh Pirates Insights

  • Jared Jones – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Jared Jones in the 93rd percentile when assessing his strikeout skill.
    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.
  • Oneil Cruz – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-175/+135)
    Typically, bats like Oneil Cruz who hit a lot of groundballs are generally less successful when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of groundballs such as Landen Roupp.
    Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
  • Henry Davis – Over/Under Total Bases
    Henry Davis pulls many of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) and will be challenged by MLB’s 10th-deepest LF 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.
