Cincinnati Reds

San Francisco Giants Insights

• San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+100)
  Landen Roupp is an extreme groundball pitcher (46.5% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Great American Ball Park — the #1 HR venue among all stadiums — in this game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
• Luis Arraez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
  Luis Arraez has performed at a clip of 0.0 Expected Home Runs per 600 plate appearances since the start of last season, ranking in the 0th percentile for power according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
  Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
• Landen Roupp – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  Patrick Bailey, the Giants’s expected catcher in today’s game, 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).

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Chase Burns – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  With 6 batters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Chase Burns will be in a tough position while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Eugenio Suarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  Eugenio Suarez and his 21.9° launch angle on his hardest-hit balls rank in 98th percentile, among the highest in the league since the start of last season.
  Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.
• Cincinnati’s 88.5-mph average exit velocity since the start of last season ranks among the worst in Major League Baseball: #30 overall.
  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.
