Colorado Rockies Insights

• Michael Lorenzen – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-165)
  Michael Lorenzen’s higher usage rate of his secondary pitches this season (64.7% vs. 59.7% last season) should work in his favor considering they are typically much more effective than fastballs.
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Braxton Fulford – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Extreme groundball bats like Braxton Fulford generally hit worse against extreme groundball pitchers like Shota Imanaga.
  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.
• Hunter Goodman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-145)
  Hunter Goodman pulls many of his flyballs (40% — 97th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 7th-shallowest LF 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.

Chicago Cubs Insights

• Shota Imanaga – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  Shota Imanaga’s 91.2-mph velocity on his fastball this year is a substantial 1-mph rise from last year’s 90.2-mph mark.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his velocity will likely see improved results.
• Nico Hoerner – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-260/+195)
  Nico Hoerner has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (89% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th on the lineup card in this game.
  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.
• Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (-205)
  The Chicago Cubs projected offense projects as the 2nd-strongest of all teams today in terms of overall batting skill.
  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.
