Miami Marlins Insights
- Braxton Garrett – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)The Minnesota Twins have 8 bats in the projected offense that will have the handedness advantage against Braxton Garrett in today’s game.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Jakob Marsee – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+135)Jakob Marsee is penciled in 6th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 90% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.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.
- Miami Marlins – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen grades out as the 9th-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.
Minnesota Twins Insights
- Zebby Matthews – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)Zebby Matthews’s 95.6-mph fastball velocity since the start of last season grades out in the 87th percentile among all starting pitchers.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Ryan Jeffers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)Ryan Jeffers has seen a substantial improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 94.3-mph average to last season’s 90.7-mph figure.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.
- Victor Caratini – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)Today, Victor Caratini is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 10th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38.6% rate (89th percentile).Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
