Los Angeles Dodgers

Washington Nationals Insights

• Andrew Alvarez – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  Andrew Alvarez’s 91.6-mph fastball velocity this year ranks in the 20th percentile among all starting pitchers.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Dylan Crews – Over/Under 0.5 Runs (+160/-210)
  Dylan Crews has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (83% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th on the lineup card in today’s 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.
• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected batting order for the Washington Nationals in this game has an estimated true talent wOBA of .308, which is a good deal worse than their actual wOBA of .327 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.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Justin Wrobleski – Over/Under 13.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Justin Wrobleski to have a pitch count in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 83 pitches.
  Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Teoscar Hernández – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Teoscar Hernandez has been hot of late, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 90-mph to 103.8-mph in the last week’s worth of games.
  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.
• The 8.6% Barrel% of the Los Angeles Dodgers grades them out as the #5 club in the league this year by this metric.
  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.
