Los Angeles Dodgers

San Diego Padres Insights

• Xander Bogaerts – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Typically, bats like Xander Bogaerts who hit a lot of flyballs tend to perform worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
  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.
• Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the 2nd-least strikeout-prone lineup today is the San Diego Padres with a 19.7% underlying K%.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Yoshinobu Yamamoto – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s four-seam fastball rate has fallen by 8.8% from last year to this one (35.7% to 26.9%) .
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
• Tommy Edman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-225/+170)
  Tommy Edman is penciled in 1st on the lineup card today, which would be an upgrade from his 80% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
  The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen projects as the 3rd-best in Major League Baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
