Washington Nationals Insights
- Washington Nationals – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+160)Cade Cavalli is an extreme groundball pitcher (48% GB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Dodger Stadium — the #4 HR venue among all major league stadiums — in this game.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
- Keibert Ruiz – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)Keibert Ruiz has been lucky this year, notching a .330 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .288 — a .042 discrepancy.Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
- According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected offense for the Washington Nationals in this game holds an estimated true talent wOBA of .308, which is considerably lower 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
- Tyler Glasnow – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)Tyler Glasnow’s curveball percentage has increased by 5% from last year to this one (21.9% to 26.9%) .Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
- Tommy Edman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-225/+170)Tommy Edman is penciled in 1st on the lineup card in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 50% 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.
- Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen projects as the best among all teams in Major League Baseball.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
