Washington Nationals Insights

• Cade Cavalli – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Cade Cavalli’s high utilization percentage of his fastball (52.2% this year) is likely weakening his results, considering they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
  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.
• Brady House – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+165/-220)
  Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected HR per 600 plate appearances (5.1) may lead us to conclude that Brady House has experienced some positive variance since the start of last season with his 13.0 actual HR/600.
  Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
• Luis Garcia – Over/Under Total Bases
  Luis Garcia Jr. hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40.5% — 99th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the game’s 6th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.

Miami Marlins Insights

• Miami Marlins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-130)
  Sandy Alcantara turned in a great performance in his last game started and gave up 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Jakob Marsee – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Jakob Marsee has struggled with his Barrel%; his 8.1% rate last season has decreased to 3.1% this season.
  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.
• It may be wise to expect weaker performance for the Miami Marlins offense in future games, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are the 5th-luckiest offense in the majors this year.
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
