San Diego Padres Insights

• San Diego Padres – Moneyline (-155)
  The San Diego Padres infield defense grades out as the 3rd-best out of every team in action today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Miguel Andujar – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+140/-185)
  Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected Batting Average (.257) provides evidence that Miguel Andujar has had positive variance on his side since the start of last season with his .317 actual batting average.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• San Diego Padres – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Diego Padres’ bullpen grades out 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.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Tomoyuki Sugano – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
  Considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup, Tomoyuki Sugano is projected to throw 82 pitches in today’s outing by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) system, which is the 3rd-least of all pitchers on the slate.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Ezequiel Tovar – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+200/-265)
  Ezequiel Tovar has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (68% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th on the lineup card in this matchup.
  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.
• As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the Colorado Rockies are expected to score the 2nd-most runs (6.12 on average) of all teams on the slate.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
