St. Louis Cardinals Insights

• Dustin May – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
  Dustin May projects to average 2.1 walks in this outing, as forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Jordan Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Despite posting a .392 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Jordan Walker has experienced some positive variance given the .055 discrepancy between that figure and his estimated true talent wOBA of .337.
  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.
• The St. Louis Cardinals have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jimmy Crooks, Nolan Gorman, Jordan Walker).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

New York Mets Insights

• Freddy Peralta – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  The St. Louis Cardinals have 6 batters in the projected offense that will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Freddy Peralta in this matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Mark Vientos – Over/Under Hits
  Mark Vientos has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (67% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th in the lineup 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.
• New York Mets bats collectively rank among the elite in MLB this year (5th-) as it relates to their 89.6-mph average exit velocity.
  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.
