- Parker Messick – Over/Under Pitching OutsParker Messick has recorded 17.3 outs per GS this year, checking in at the 80th 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.
- Patrick Bailey – Over/Under Total BasesThe leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Patrick Bailey’s true offensive skill to be a .271, indicating that he has suffered from bad luck this year given the .080 gap between that mark and his actual .191 wOBA.Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
- Parker Messick – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)Patrick Bailey, the Guardians’s expected catcher today, profiles as an elite pitch framer according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
