Chicago Cubs Insights

  The Chicago Cubs infield defense grades out as the 2nd-best among all the teams today.

• Ian Happ – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Ian Happ has made big improvements with his Barrel%, bettering his 10.1% rate last season to 15.4% this year.
  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.
• Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (+140)
  The 3rd-best projected offense of all teams on the slate today in terms of overall batting ability belongs to the Chicago Cubs.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Emmet Sheehan – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+125/-160)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Emmet Sheehan to throw 85 pitches in this matchup (6th-least of all pitchers on the slate today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Max Muncy – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Max Muncy has been hot lately, whalloping 7 homers over the last 14 days.
  Explain: Strong recent performance may mean the player is seeing the ball well and will continue to hit well in the near-term.
• Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen projects as the 9th-best among all teams in Major League Baseball.
  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.
