St. Louis Cardinals

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Andrew Painter – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+125/-165)
  The St. Louis Cardinals have 6 batters in the projected lineup that will hold the platoon advantage over Andrew Painter in today’s game.
  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.
• Bryce Harper – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  The St. Louis Cardinals have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Bryce Harper has a strong chance of never facing a bullpen mismatch all game.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• The Philadelphia Phillies have been the 3rd-unluckiest offense in baseball this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to hit better in future games
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.

St. Louis Cardinals Insights

• St. Louis Cardinals batters collectively have been one of the best in Major League Baseball this year (5th-) in regard to their 89.4-mph average exit velocity.
  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.
