Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Yoshinobu Yamamoto – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+120/-150)
  Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s curveball utilization has fallen by 5.3% from last season to this one (17.6% to 12.3%) .
  Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
• Mookie Betts – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Mookie Betts hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.8% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards baseball’s 5th-shallowest CF 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.

Atlanta Braves Insights

• Chris Sale – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Chris Sale has put up a 32.1% Strikeout% this year, ranking in the 98th percentile.
  Explain: One of the best indicators of future strikeouts is past strikeouts.
• Lane Thomas – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-120/-110)
  Lane Thomas is penciled in 6th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 69% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup 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.
• Atlanta Braves – Moneyline (-120)
  The 5th-best projected batting order of all teams today in terms of overall hitting skill belongs to the Atlanta Braves.
  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.
