Miami Marlins Insights

• Sandy Alcantara – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+120/-155)
  Sandy Alcantara has been granted a longer leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing 8.3 more adjusted pitches-per-outing than average.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Otto Lopez – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+180/-235)
  As it relates to his batting average talent, Otto Lopez is projected as the 8th-best hitter in baseball 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 and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• The Miami Marlins have 4 batters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Esteury Ruiz, Owen Caissie, Heriberto Hernandez, Griffin Conine).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Aaron Nola – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Aaron Nola in the 80th percentile when it comes to his strikeout ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
• Brandon Marsh – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
  Brandon Marsh has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (67% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th in the batting order in this 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.
• Philadelphia Phillies – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen profiles as the 6th-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.
