Chicago Cubs Insights

  • Shota Imanaga – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-150)
    With 8 hitters of opposing handedness in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Shota Imanaga meets a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s game.
    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.
  • Nico Hoerner – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-255/+190)
    When it comes to his batting average ability, Nico Hoerner is projected as the 13th-best batter in the game by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
  • Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
    Today, Pete Crow-Armstrong is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 4th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 42.3% rate (99th percentile).
    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.

Miami Marlins Insights

  • Javier Sanoja – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-220/+165)
    Javier Sanoja is projected to hit 4th on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 82% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
    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.
  • According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected batting order for the Miami Marlins in today’s game holds an estimated true talent wOBA of .300, which is a good deal lower than their actual wOBA of .317 this year.
    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.
