New York Mets Insights

  • Jared Young – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
    Jared Young has seen a sizeable gain in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 97-mph average over the last two weeks to his seasonal 92.5-mph mark.
    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.
  • New York’s 89.6-mph average exit velocity this year ranks among the best in Major League Baseball: #4 overall.
    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.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

  • Chase Burns – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
    With 6 bats of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Chase Burns will be at a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this matchup.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
    Typically, hitters like Eugenio Suarez who hit a lot of groundballs tend to perform worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of groundballs such as Tobias Myers.
    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.
  • Sal Stewart – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-150)
    Sal Stewart has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (38%) and will have a big advantage hitting them out towards the league’s 8th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
    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.
