Arizona Diamondbacks Insights

• Brandon Pfaadt – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-145/+115)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Brandon Pfaadt to be limited in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 81 pitches.
  Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Ildemaro Vargas – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Ildemaro Vargas has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (54% of the time), but he is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card in today’s 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.
• Gabriel Moreno – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  Gabriel Moreno has a 99th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (40.2%) but may find it hard to clear the league’s 6th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
  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.

San Diego Padres Insights

• Jake Cronenworth – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
  The Arizona Diamondbacks have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Jake Cronenworth has a strong chance of never losing the platoon advantage against the ‘pen all game.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
