Los Angeles Dodgers

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Zack Wheeler – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-140/+110)
  Zack Wheeler has tallied 18.8 outs per outing this year, grading out in the 96th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• The Philadelphia Phillies have 4 bats in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Kyle Schwarber, Steward Berroa, Adolis Garcia, Brandon Marsh).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Justin Wrobleski – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Justin Wrobleski’s high usage rate of his fastball (56.7% this year) is likely hurting his results, since they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• Will Smith – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Will Smith has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (91% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th on the lineup card in this game.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
  The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen grades out as the 10th-best in MLB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
