Current Player Trends for Athletics vs Padres - Saturday May 23, 2026

-115O/U: 8
(-110/-110)-105

J.T. Ginn – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
J.T. Ginn’s 2058.2-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season ranks in the 10th percentile among all starters.
Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Darell Hernaiz – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
Darell Hernaiz’s exit velocity on flyballs has dropped off this year; his 88.4-mph EV last year has fallen to 83-mph.
Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
Shea Langeliers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
Shea Langeliers hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.4% — 87th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Lucas Giolito – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
Given that flyball hitters perform worse against flyball pitchers, Lucas Giolito (37.7% GB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) is well-situated in this matchup with 2 FB hitters in the opposition’s projected offense.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Fernando Tatis Jr.’s true offensive ability to be a .360, suggesting that he has had some very poor luck this year given the .094 disparity between that figure and his actual .266 wOBA.
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.
It may be smart to expect better results for the San Diego Padres offense going forward, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are the 2nd-unluckiest offense in the majors this year.
Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
