Atlanta Braves Insights
- Bryce Elder – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Bryce Elder has utilized his secondary offerings 7.8% more often this year (53.4%) than he did last year (45.6%).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.
- Mauricio Dubon – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-245/+185)Mauricio Dubon is projected to hit 1st in the lineup today, which would be an upgrade from his 84% 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.
- Atlanta Braves – 2H MoneylineThe Atlanta Braves bullpen projects as the 3rd-best in the majors, via 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.
Los Angeles Dodgers Insights
- Justin Wrobleski – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-165)Justin Wrobleski’s 2416-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 78th percentile out of all starters.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Dalton Rushing – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+210/-280)Dalton Rushing’s average exit velocity has decreased in recent games; his 88.4-mph seasonal mark has dropped off to 75.5-mph in the last week.Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
- Max Muncy – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)In today’s matchup, Max Muncy is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 8th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 40.3% rate (98th percentile).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.
