Toronto Blue Jays Insights
- Spencer Miles – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Spencer Miles has used his fastball a lot since the start of last season, though: 53% of the time, placing in the 100th percentile.Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
- Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)Daulton Varsho is an extreme flyball hitter and faces the weak outfield defense of San Francisco (#3-worst of the day).Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
- Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)Daulton Varsho pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 2nd-shallowest RF fences today.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.
San Francisco Giants Insights
- San Francisco Giants – Moneyline (+100)The San Francisco Giants outfield defense projects as the 3rd-weakest among every team on the slate today.Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
- Bryce Eldridge – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)Bryce Eldridge has taken a step back with his Barrel% recently; his 11.3% seasonal rate has lowered to 0% over the past week.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
- The San Francisco Giants have 3 hitters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Drew Cavanaugh, Bryce Eldridge, Willy Adames).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
