Atlanta Braves Insights

• Grant Holmes – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Placing in the 80th percentile, Grant Holmes put up a 12.3% Swinging Strike% this year.
  Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
• Mauricio Dubón – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
  Mauricio Dubon has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (53% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th 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.
• Atlanta Braves – Moneyline (+160)
  The Atlanta Braves projected offense projects as the 4th-strongest on the slate today in terms of overall batting ability.
  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.

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Jesús Luzardo – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (+120/-150)
  Given that flyball pitchers struggle the most against groundball hitters, Jesus Luzardo (44.9% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged today with 2 GB hitters in Atlanta’s projected offense.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Luis Arraez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
  Luis Arraez has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 86.3-mph dropping to 80.4-mph in the past two weeks.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Philadelphia Phillies – 2H Moneyline
  The Philadelphia Phillies bullpen ranks as the 7th-best in MLB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
