Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Cincinnati Reds – Moneyline (+145)
  The Cincinnati Reds infield defense profiles as the 2nd-best out of all the teams in action today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Elly De La Cruz – Over/Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (+295/-430)
  This season, there has been a decline in Elly De La Cruz’s speed with his Statcast Sprint Speed dropping from 29.06 ft/sec last year to 27.73 ft/sec currently.
  Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
• Matt McLain – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+160/-210)
  Matt McLain hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.3% — 95th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 6th-deepest CF 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.

Texas Rangers Insights

• MacKenzie Gore – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
  MacKenzie Gore has been given more leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 6.1 more adjusted pitches-per-outing than the average pitcher.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Joc Pederson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected wOBA (.311) provides evidence that Joc Pederson has had some very poor luck since the start of last season with his .271 actual wOBA.
  Explain: xwOBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s overall hitting ability more accurately than actual wOBA can.
• The Texas Rangers have been the 4th-unluckiest offense in baseball since the start of last season, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to positively regress going forward
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
