Atlanta Braves Insights

• Spencer Strider – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)
  Grading out in the 93rd percentile, Spencer Strider compiled a 14% Swinging Strike rate since the start of last season.
  Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
• Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Extreme groundball hitters like Ozzie Albies usually hit better against extreme flyball pitchers like Ranger Suarez.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
  The Atlanta Braves bullpen ranks as the 8th-worst in the league, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Ranger Suarez – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
  Ranger Suarez has been given a below-average leash this year, throwing 7.6 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average hurler.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Carlos Narvaez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+200/-265)
  In the last two weeks, Carlos Narvaez’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 7.5% down to 0%.
  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.
• Carlos Narvaez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+200/-265)
  Carlos Narvaez has a 94th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.9%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them out towards MLB’s 3rd-shallowest RF 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.
