Arizona Diamondbacks

St. Louis Cardinals Insights

• St. Louis Cardinals – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
  In his last outing, Andre Pallante was in good form and conceded 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Masyn Winn – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  Masyn Winn’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased this year; his 89.6-mph figure last season has fallen off to 86.9-mph.
  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.
• Lars Nootbaar – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Lars Nootbaar hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (41.1% — 100th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards MLB’s 3rd-deepest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.

Arizona Diamondbacks Insights

• Eduardo Rodriguez – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
  Compared to the average pitcher, Eduardo Rodriguez has been granted more leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing an extra 3.4 adjusted pitches each game.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Adrian Del Castillo – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Bats such as Adrian Del Castillo with extreme groundball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Andre Pallante who skew towards the flyball end of the spectrum.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
