Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Zack Wheeler – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
  Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Zack Wheeler has gone to his off-speed and breaking pitches 7.3% more often this season (49.3%) than he did last season (42%).
  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.
• Bryce Harper – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-145)
  Bryce Harper has seen a sizeable improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 95.9-mph average to last year’s 93.7-mph mark.
  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.
