Philadelphia Phillies Insights
- Cristopher Sanchez – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)With 6 batters who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Cristopher Sanchez meets a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s outing.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.
- Trea Turner – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+180/-240)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Trea Turner as the 15th-best batter in baseball when estimating his batting average talent.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.
- Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)Kyle Schwarber pulls a lot of his flyballs (43% — 99th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 11th-shallowest RF fences today.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.
Toronto Blue Jays Insights
- Patrick Corbin – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+130/-165)Patrick Corbin’s 2138.3-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season grades out in the 17th percentile out of all starters.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Yohendrick Pinango – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-105/-125)Yohendrick Pinango is projected to bat 9th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 65% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.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.
- Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the least strikeout-prone lineup on the slate today is the Toronto Blue Jays with a 18.9% underlying K%.Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
