Seattle Mariners Insights
- Bryan Woo – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+135/-180)Tallying 19.2 outs per outing this year on average, Bryan Woo falls in the 96th percentile.Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
- Mitch Garver – Over/Under Total BasesMitch Garver has strong power (86th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s usually a big “IF” (27.4% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Matthew Liberatore doesn’t generate many whiffs (22nd percentile K%) — great news for Garver.Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
- Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)Cal Raleigh pulls a lot of his flyballs (43.7% — 100th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the game’s 7th-deepest LF fences today.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.
St. Louis Cardinals Insights
- Matthew Liberatore – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)Matthew Liberatore has relied on his four-seam fastball 6.8% more often this year (35.8%) than he did last year (29%).Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
- Jordan Walker – Over/Under Total BasesJordan Walker has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 95-mph average to last season’s 92.3-mph figure.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.
- St. Louis Cardinals – Moneyline (+125)The St. Louis Cardinals projected offense grades out as the 3rd-worst of the day in terms of overall batting skill.Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
