San Francisco Giants Insights

  • Landen Roupp – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)
    Landen Roupp has gone to his curveball 7% less often this year (28.7%) than he did last season (35.7%).
    Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
  • Casey Schmitt – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
    Casey Schmitt pulls a lot of his flyballs (36.7% — 90th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the league’s 7th-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.

Chicago Cubs Insights

  • Ben Brown – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-170/+130)
    Ben Brown’s 96.1-mph velocity on his fastball this year is a significant 1-mph spike from last season’s 95.1-mph mark.
    Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his velocity will likely see improved results.
  • Nico Hoerner – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+185/-245)
    Nico Hoerner has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (98% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th in the batting order in this game.
    Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
  • Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (-140)
    The 3rd-best projected offense of all teams on the slate in terms of overall hitting skill is that of the Chicago Cubs.
    Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
