Athletics

Miami Marlins Insights

• Eury Perez – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  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

• Athletics – Moneyline (-120)
  Out of all the teams today, the 2nd-weakest outfield defense belongs to the Athletics.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Lawrence Butler – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Lawrence Butler is projected to bat 4th in the lineup in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 87% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
  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 .309 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.
