Los Angeles Dodgers Insights
- Los Angeles Dodgers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-175)Emmet Sheehan is an extreme flyball pitcher (38.6% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and is stuck pitching in the #7 HR venue in MLB today.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- Shohei Ohtani – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+170/-225)When assessing his batting average talent, Shohei Ohtani is projected as the 9th-best hitter in MLB by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
- Los Angeles Dodgers – Moneyline (-185)The best projected batting order of the day in terms of overall hitting skill is that of the Los Angeles Dodgers.Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
Chicago White Sox Insights
- Chicago White Sox – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+135)Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Erick Fedde has relied on his off-speed and breaking balls 5.9% more often this year (70%) than he did last year (64.1%).Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
- Chase Meidroth – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-190/+145)Chase Meidroth is projected to hit 6th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 89% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.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.
- Chicago White Sox bats collectively rank 6th- in MLB for power this year when assessing with their 9.6% Barrel%.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
