Athletics Insights

  • Aaron Civale – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
    Out of all starters, Aaron Civale’s fastball spin rate of 2430.6 rpm is in the 83rd percentile since the start of last season.
    Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
  • Nick Kurtz – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+195/-260)
    In comparison to his 92.7-mph average last year, Nick Kurtz’s exit velocity has noticeably risen this season, now sitting at 98.7 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.
  • Lawrence Butler – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+290/-420)
    Lawrence Butler has a 95th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.2%) and will have a big advantage hitting them out towards the game’s 9th-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.

Seattle Mariners Insights

  • Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-195/+150)
    Tallying 17.4 outs per start this year on average, Logan Gilbert ranks in the 85th percentile.
    Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
  • Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Cal Raleigh’s true offensive ability to be a .343, suggesting that he has had bad variance on his side this year given the .101 gap between that figure and his actual .242 wOBA.
    Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
  • Logan Gilbert – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Cal Raleigh (the Mariners’s expected catcher in today’s matchup) is considered to be an elite pitch framer.
    Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
