Philadelphia Phillies

Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Parker Messick – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
  Tallying 17.6 outs per GS this year on average, Parker Messick falls in the 84th 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.
• Steven Kwan – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+140)
  Steven Kwan is projected to bat 7th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 84% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.
  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.
• Rhys Hoskins – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Rhys Hoskins pulls a lot of his flyballs (41.1% — 99th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 10th-shallowest LF 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.

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Andrew Painter – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  With 6 batters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected offense, Andrew Painter will have a tough matchup while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this matchup.
  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.
• Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Kyle Schwarber has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 93.4-mph to 99.4-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 Philadelphia Phillies have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Kyle Schwarber, Adolis Garcia, Brandon Marsh).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
