Washington Nationals Insights
- Jake Irvin – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+130/-165)Jake Irvin’s 91.8-mph fastball velocity since the start of last season ranks in the 24th percentile among all starters.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Daylen Lile – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)Daylen Lile’s exit velocity on flyballs has declined this year; his 91.8-mph average last season has fallen off to 89.1-mph.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.
- Luis Garcia – Over/Under Total BasesLuis Garcia Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.8% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards baseball’s 8th-shallowest CF 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.
Milwaukee Brewers Insights
- Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-195)Chad Patrick is an extreme flyball pitcher (39.9% FB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) and will be disadvantaged pitching in the #8 HR venue among all major league stadiums in today’s game.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-145)Christian Yelich has had positive variance on his side thus far when it comes to his home runs since the start of last season; his 26.1 HR per 600 plate appearances rate is quite a bit higher than his 18.0 Expected HR/600, based on 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.
- It may be wise to expect worse results for the Milwaukee Brewers offense in the future, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 4th-luckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year.Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
