Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Philadelphia Phillies – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-120)
  Aaron Nola has been unlucky this year, putting up a 6.03 ERA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 4.24 — a 1.79 disparity.
  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.
• Felix Reyes – Over/Under Hits
  Felix Reyes has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (67% of the time), but he is projected to hit 9th on the lineup card today.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• The 6.5% Barrel% of the Philadelphia Phillies grades them out as the #28 group of hitters in MLB 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.

Miami Marlins Insights

• Miami Marlins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-110)
  Janson Junk turned in a great performance in his last outing and gave up 2 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Graham Pauley – Over/Under Total Bases
  Graham Pauley’s average exit velocity has declined this season; his 86.6-mph mark last season has fallen to 84-mph.
  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.
• Graham Pauley – Over/Under Total Bases
  Graham Pauley pulls a lot of his flyballs (34.8% — 82nd percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the game’s 4th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
  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.
