Philadelphia Phillies Insights
- Philadelphia Phillies – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-170)Jesus Luzardo is an extreme groundball pitcher (44.8% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Great American Ball Park — the #1 HR venue among all stadiums — in this matchup.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
- Bryce Harper – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)Bryce Harper has struggled with his Barrel% lately; his 12.1% seasonal rate has dropped to 0% over the past week.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
- Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)Kyle Schwarber pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (43.9% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards baseball’s 8th-shallowest RF fences today.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.
