Cincinnati Reds Insights

  • Brady Singer – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
    Brady Singer’s sinker utilization has risen by 7% from last season to this one (40.8% to 47.8%) .
    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.
  • Nate Lowe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
    Nathaniel Lowe has a 94th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.5%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them out towards the league’s 9th-shallowest LF fences today.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Seattle Mariners Insights

  • Seattle Mariners – Moneyline (-165)
    The Seattle Mariners infield defense grades out as the 3rd-weakest out of every team in action today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
  • Dominic Canzone – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-210/+160)
    Dominic Canzone has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (70% of the time), but he is projected to bat 3rd in the batting order today.
    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.
  • Emerson Hancock – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Cal Raleigh (the Mariners’s expected catcher today) is considered to be an elite pitch framer.
    Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
