Cleveland Guardians Insights

  • Tanner Bibee – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
    Compared to league average, Tanner Bibee has been given more leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, throwing an extra 5.3 adjusted pitches each outing.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Angel Martinez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)
    Angel Martinez is penciled in 2nd on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 50% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.
    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.
  • Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
    Today, Jose Ramirez is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 3rd-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 41.7% rate (99th percentile).
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Atlanta Braves Insights

  • Chris Sale – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
    The Cleveland Guardians have 7 hitters in the projected lineup that will hold the platoon advantage over Chris Sale today, which is especially problematic given his huge platoon split.
    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.
  • Matt Olson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)
    Matt Olson has seen a sizeable increase in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 100.4-mph average to last year’s 96.9-mph mark.
    Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
  • According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected batting order for the Atlanta Braves today owns an estimated true talent wOBA of .318, which is significantly worse than their actual wOBA of .330 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.
