Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Philadelphia Phillies – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+175)
  Aaron Nola has been unlucky since the start of last season, notching a 5.80 ERA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 4.21 — a 1.59 deviation.
  Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
• Adolis Garcia – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Adolis Garcia has struggled with his Barrel% of late; his 10% seasonal rate has dropped to 0% over the last 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.
• The 6.7% Barrel% of the Philadelphia Phillies makes them the #27 squad in the majors this year by this metric.
  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.

Atlanta Braves Insights

• Atlanta Braves – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-230)
  Chris Sale was firing on all cylinders in his previous outing and gave up 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Michael Harris II – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  Michael Harris II has seen a substantial improvement in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 100.7-mph average in the last 7 days to his seasonal 94.8-mph average.
  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.
• Ronald Acuna Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Ronald Acuna Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.9% — 92nd percentile) and will have a big advantage facing baseball’s 5th-shallowest CF 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.
