Philadelphia Phillies Insights
- Philadelphia Phillies – Moneyline (-110)The Philadelphia Phillies outfield defense grades out as the worst out of all the teams in action today.Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
- Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)Kyle Schwarber’s average exit velocity has fallen off this year; his 94.3-mph EV last season has dropped off to 92.3-mph.Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
- Bryson Stott – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-200)Bryson Stott hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.8% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards MLB’s 5th-shallowest CF 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.
Atlanta Braves Insights
- Ray Kerr will “start” for Atlanta Braves today but will serve in the role of an opener and may not pitch more than a couple framess.Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
- Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)Philadelphia’s #1-ranked outfield defense on the slate poses a formidable challenge for Ozzie Albies, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- Atlanta Braves – Moneyline (-110)The worst projected offense of the day in terms of overall batting ability belongs to the Atlanta Braves.Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
