Washington Nationals Insights

  • Cade Cavalli – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
    Cade Cavalli has experienced some positive variance in regards to his strikeouts this year, posting a 10.23 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 9.35 — a 0.88 K/9 gap.
    Explain: Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value on K prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
  • Jose Tena – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+170/-225)
    Jose Tena has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (69% of the time), but he is penciled in 3rd in the lineup today.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Washington Nationals’ bullpen ranks as the 5th-worst among all the teams in MLB.
    Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Colorado Rockies Insights

  • Colorado Rockies – Moneyline (+125)
    The Colorado Rockies infield defense projects as the 2nd-weakest among all the teams today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
  • T.J. Rumfield – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
    T.J. Rumfield has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 84-mph dropping to 80.8-mph in the last 14 days.
    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.
  • The Colorado Rockies project to score the 4th-most runs of all teams on the slate today, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
    Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
