Atlanta Braves Insights
- Grant Holmes – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)Placing in the 88th percentile, Grant Holmes posted a 13% Swinging Strike% since the start of last season.Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
- Matt Olson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)Matt Olson has seen a sizeable increase in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 100.8-mph average to last year’s 96.9-mph figure.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.
- Matt Olson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)Matt Olson has a 75th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (33.1%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 9th-shallowest LF 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.
