New York Mets Insights
- Nolan McLean – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)In his previous game started, Nolan McLean was on point and posted 8 strikeouts.Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
- Juan Soto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)The Arizona Diamondbacks have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Juan Soto stands a good chance of never facing a bullpen mismatch all game.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 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)Mark Vientos hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.5% — 99th percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 3rd-deepest CF fences in today’s game.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.
Arizona Diamondbacks Insights
- Arizona Diamondbacks – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+110)Ryne Nelson is an extreme flyball pitcher (37.6% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) and has the benefit of pitching in the #27 HR venue among all major league parks in this matchup.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
- Ildemaro Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)Typically, hitters like Ildemaro Vargas who hit a lot of flyballs generally hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Nolan McLean.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.
- Today’s version of the D-Backs projected batting order is missing some of their usual firepower, as their .306 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA is considerably below their .317 overall projected rate.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.
