San Diego Padres Insights

• Lucas Giolito – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Given that flyball pitchers struggle the most against groundball hitters, Lucas Giolito (37.6% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged today with 4 GB hitters in Washington’s projected offense.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Freddy Fermin – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Freddy Fermin has been unlucky this year, putting up a .204 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .278 — a .074 discrepancy.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• It may be smart to expect positive regression for the San Diego Padres offense the rest of the season, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 2nd-unluckiest offense in baseball this year.
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.

Washington Nationals Insights

• Paxton Schultz – Over/Under 1.5 Strikeouts (+135/-175)
  Paxton Schultz will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against 7 opposing hitters in this matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform better against right-handed hitters (and the same for lefties). Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Daylen Lile – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
  Daylen Lile is penciled in 6th in the lineup in today’s game, which would be a downgrade from his 71% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order 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.
• Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Washington Nationals’ bullpen ranks as the 2nd-worst among all the teams in MLB.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
