San Francisco Giants Insights

• San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+100)
  Robbie Ray is an extreme flyball pitcher (41.6% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and should be aided by pitching in the #25 HR venue in MLB in today’s game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
  The San Francisco Giants bullpen projects as the 8th-worst in Major League Baseball, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Atlanta Braves Insights

• Atlanta Braves – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-130)
  Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. JR Ritchie must realize this, because he has relied on his off-speed and breaking balls a lot this year: 65.5% of the time, placing in the 92nd percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
