Miami Marlins

Atlanta Braves Insights

• Martin Perez – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Martin Perez has relied on his four-seam fastball 5.2% more often this year (8.8%) than he did last year (3.6%).
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
• Drake Baldwin – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Drake Baldwin has been lucky this year, putting up a .396 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .346 — a .050 difference.
  Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
• Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Ozzie Albies pulls a lot of his flyballs (40% — 97th percentile) and will be challenged by baseball’s 9th-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.

Miami Marlins Insights

• Miami Marlins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+105)
  Braxton Garrett conceded a colossal 5 earned runs in his last GS.
  Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
• Christopher Morel – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Christopher Morel has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (67% of the time), but he is projected to bat 4th in the lineup 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.
• The Miami Marlins have 4 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Christopher Morel, Connor Norby, Joe Mack, Kyle Stowers).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
