San Francisco Giants Insights
- Cesar Perdomo – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-150/+120)The New York Mets have 7 hitters in the projected lineup that will hold the platoon advantage over Cesar Perdomo in today’s game.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Drew Gilbert – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+280/-400)Drew Gilbert is projected to hit 1st in the batting order in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 86% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.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.
New York Mets Insights
- Juan Soto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)Juan Soto is apt to have the upper hand against every reliever for the game’s entirety, since the bullpen of the San Francisco Giants has just 1 same-handed RP.Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
- Mark Vientos – Over/Under Total BasesMark Vientos hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.4% — 99th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing MLB’s shallowest CF fences in today’s game.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.
