Atlanta Braves Insights

• Reynaldo Lopez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
  Reynaldo Lopez’s 2071-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 5th percentile among all starting pitchers.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Austin Riley – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Austin Riley has seen a sizeable increase in his exit velocity recently; just compare his 101.8-mph average in the last 7 days to his seasonal 90.7-mph figure.
  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.
• Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-165)
  Ozzie Albies pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (40.1% — 97th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 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.

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Shane Baz – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-170/+130)
  Compared to the average starter, Shane Baz has been granted more leash than the average pitcher this year, tallying an extra 6.5 adjusted pitches each start.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Taylor Ward – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-175/+135)
  Extreme groundball hitters like Taylor Ward are generally less successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Reynaldo Lopez.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Today’s version of the Orioles projected lineup is a bit watered down, as their .320 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA is considerably below their .332 overall projected rate.
  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.
