Arizona Diamondbacks Insights

• Jose Cabrera – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  With 6 batters of opposing handedness in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Jose Cabrera meets a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
  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.
• Ryan Waldschmidt – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+110)
  Ryan Waldschmidt’s average exit velocity has dropped off lately; his 87.4-mph seasonal EV has dropped off to 78.4-mph in 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.
• The Arizona Diamondbacks (20.6 K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) are projected to have the 4th-least strikeout-heavy group of hitters of all teams on the slate today.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• Turner Hill – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
  Arizona’s #3-ranked outfield defense on the slate today poses a formidable challenge for Turner Hill, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
  The San Francisco Giants bullpen projects as the 10th-worst in MLB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
