San Diego Padres Insights
- Randy Vasquez – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+125/-160)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects that Randy Vasquez will record an average of 14.5 outs today.Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
- Gavin Sheets – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+155)Gavin Sheets is penciled in 2nd in the lineup today, which would be an upgrade from his 52% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.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.
- Jackson Merrill – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)Jackson Merrill has a 90th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (35.4%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them in the direction of MLB’s 10th-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.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
- Aaron Nola – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)With 6 bats who bat from the same side in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Aaron Nola figures to benefit from owning the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s outing.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform better against right-handed hitters (and the same for lefties). Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Bryce Harper – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)Bryce Harper has seen a notable gain in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 95.7-mph average to last season’s 93.7-mph EV.Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
- The Philadelphia Phillies have been the 2nd-unluckiest offense in baseball this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to positively regress the rest of the seasonExplain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
