Philadelphia Phillies Insights
- Aaron Nola – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)Aaron Nola’s four-seam fastball percentage has fallen by 6.3% from last year to this one (30.2% to 23.9%) .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.
- Edmundo Sosa – Over/Under Total BasesEdmundo Sosa has negatively regressed with his Barrel% in recent games; his 6.5% seasonal rate has fallen off to 0% in the past two weeks’ worth of games.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.
- Philadelphia Phillies – 2H MoneylineThe Philadelphia Phillies bullpen profiles as the 5th-best in the game, per 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.

- CJ Abrams – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)CJ Abrams pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (35.8% — 85th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 10th-shallowest RF fences today.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.
