Miami Marlins Insights
- Eury Perez – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)Eury Perez’s sinker utilization has risen by 6.1% from last year to this one (0.8% to 6.9%) .Explain: Sinkers are the easiest pitches to hit and generate the fewest strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his sinker more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
- Heriberto Hernandez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)Heriberto Hernandez pulls many of his flyballs (36.1% — 87th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 6th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.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.
Athletics Insights
- Gage Jump – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)Gage Jump’s 95.6-mph fastball velocity this year ranks in the 84th percentile among all starters.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Jonah Heim – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)Jonah Heim has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (60% of the time), but he is projected to bat 4th on the lineup card in this matchup.Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
- Today’s version of the Athletics projected offense is weaker than usual, as their .312 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA is considerably below their .336 overall projected rate.Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
