Los Angeles Dodgers Insights
- Justin Wrobleski – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)Among all starters, Justin Wrobleski’s fastball spin rate of 2436 rpm is in the 83rd percentile this year.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Max Muncy – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)Max Muncy has seen a big improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 97.6-mph average to last season’s 95-mph average.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.
- Freddie Freeman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)Freddie Freeman has an 84th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.3%) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 10th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.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.

- The Pittsburgh Pirates have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Rafael Flores, Esmerlyn Valdez, Brandon Lowe).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
