San Francisco Giants Insights
- Adrian Houser – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)With 6 hitters who hit from the other side in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Adrian Houser will have a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this matchup.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.
- Bryce Eldridge – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)Based on Statcast metrics, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected Batting Average (.139) may lead us to conclude that Bryce Eldridge has been lucky since the start of last season with his .273 actual batting average.Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
- Matt Chapman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)Matt Chapman hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.7% — 89th percentile) and is fortunate to face baseball’s 5th-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.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.
Atlanta Braves Insights
- Grant Holmes – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)Ranking in the 85th percentile, Grant Holmes put up a 12.9% Swinging Strike percentage this year.Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
- Mauricio Dubon – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-225/+170)Mauricio Dubon has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (54% of the time), but he is penciled in 1st in the lineup in this matchup.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.
- Compared to their .325 overall projected rate, the .312 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA of the Atlanta Braves projected lineup in today’s game suggests this version of the lineup a good deal missing some of their usual firepower.Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
