Washington Nationals Insights

  • Zack Littell – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-145/+115)
    Throwing 78.7 adjusted pitches per GS this year on average, Zack Littell checks in at the 16th percentile.
    Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Drew Millas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+255/-360)
    Drew Millas has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 81.1-mph dropping to 78-mph over the last week.
    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.
  • Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline
    The Washington Nationals bullpen projects as the 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.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

  • Tanner Bibee – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
    Tanner Bibee’s slider utilization has fallen by 13.8% from last year to this one (15.4% to 1.6%) .
    Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
  • Kyle Manzardo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
    Washington’s #1-ranked outfield defense of all teams on the slate poses a formidable challenge for Kyle Manzardo, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
    Jose Ramirez pulls many of his flyballs (43.1% — 100th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 6th-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.
