Seattle Mariners Insights

• Bryce Miller – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Bryce Miller’s four-seam fastball percentage has increased by 10.6% from last year to this one (41% to 51.6%) .
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
• Julio Rodriguez – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+145/-190)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Julio Rodriguez as the 10th-best batter in the majors when estimating his batting average ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• Mitch Garver – Over/Under Total Bases
  Mitch Garver pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (40.8% — 98th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 11th-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
  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.

Washington Nationals Insights

• Zack Littell – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Out of all starters, Zack Littell’s fastball spin rate of 2013 rpm grades out in the 5th percentile this year.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Jose Tena – Over/Under Hits
  Jose Tena is penciled in 3rd on the lineup card today, which would be an upgrade from his 72% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• The underlying talent of the Washington Nationals projected batting order today (.309 projected wOBA per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be quite a bit weaker than their .322 wOBA this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
