New York Yankees Insights

  • Max Fried – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
    Max Fried has relied on his four-seamer 6.3% less often this year (18%) than he did last year (24.3%).
    Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
  • Austin Wells – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
    Austin Wells is an extreme flyball hitter and squares off against the strong outfield defense of Milwaukee (#1-best of all teams on the slate today).
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
    Aaron Judge hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.1% — 94th percentile) and is fortunate to face the game’s 8th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
    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.

    Over the past two weeks, Gary Sanchez’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 13.2% down to 0%.
    Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
  • Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (+115)
    The Milwaukee Brewers projected offense grades out as the 4th-weakest on the slate in terms of overall batting ability.
    Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
