San Francisco Giants Insights

• San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
  Tyler Mahle has been unlucky this year, putting up a 4.96 ERA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 4.37 — a 0.59 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.
• Willy Adames – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-200)
  Willy Adames has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 87.7-mph dropping to 81.2-mph over the past 14 days.
  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.
• The San Francisco Giants have 4 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Bryce Eldridge, Grant McCray, Willy Adames, Daniel Susac).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

San Diego Padres Insights

• Walker Buehler – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
  Out of all starting pitchers, Walker Buehler’s fastball spin rate of 2168 rpm grades out in the 23rd percentile this year.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Ty France – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  Ty France has been lucky this year, posting a .368 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .324 — a .044 discrepancy.
  Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
• San Diego Padres – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Diego Padres’ bullpen profiles as the 2nd-best among all teams in the majors.
  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.
