St. Louis Cardinals Insights
- Nolan Gorman – Over/Under Total BasesNolan Gorman has strong power (94th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s always far from assured (31.1% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Chase Petty is a pitch-to-contact type (7th percentile K%) — great news for Gorman.Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
- It may be wise to expect negative regression for the St. Louis Cardinals offense going forward, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are the 10th-luckiest offense in the majors this year.Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
Cincinnati Reds Insights
- Chase Petty – Over/Under Pitching OutsChase Petty has been given a below-average leash since the start of last season, throwing 8.3 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than average.Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
- Elly De La Cruz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)Elly De La Cruz has seen a substantial improvement in his exit velocity this year; just compare his 93.6-mph average to last season’s 90.7-mph figure.Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
- Cincinnati Reds – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cincinnati Reds’ bullpen profiles as the 7th-worst among all the teams in the majors.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.
