San Diego Padres Insights
- JP Sears – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)JP Sears’s 2010.7-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season is in the 1st percentile out of all starters.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Xander Bogaerts – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+130)Xander Bogaerts has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (74% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th 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.
- It may be wise to expect better results for the San Diego Padres offense in future games, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 2nd-unluckiest offense in the majors this year.Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
Los Angeles Dodgers Insights
- Los Angeles Dodgers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-215)Emmet Sheehan is an extreme flyball pitcher (38.7% FB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) and is stuck pitching in the #3 HR venue among all parks today.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.
- Alex Freeland – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)Alex Freeland has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 88.3-mph dropping to 72-mph over the last 7 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.
- Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen projects as the 2nd-best out of all teams in Major League Baseball.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
