San Diego Padres Insights<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
    <\/strong><\/div>\n
    Despite technically being the “starter” in today’s game, Michael King may not stay in the game more than a couple frames since he will be treated as more of an opener.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Gavin Sheets – Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-195\/+150)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Gavin Sheets has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (100% of the time), but he is projected to hit 4th on the lineup card in today’s game.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Jackson Merrill – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110\/-140)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Jackson Merrill has an 84th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.4%) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 10th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \n
    • \n
      Mitch Keller – Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110\/-145)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Mitch Keller has gone to his sinker 10% more often this season (25.5%) than he did last season (15.5%).<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Sinkers are the easiest pitches to hit and generate the fewest strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his sinker more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Brandon Lowe – Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155\/+120)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Brandon Lowe’s average exit velocity has declined this year; his 91-mph EV last year has fallen to 81.3-mph.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      <\/strong><\/div>\n
      It may be best to expect positive regression for the Pittsburgh Pirates offense in future games, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the unluckiest offense in the majors since the start of last season.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The Pittsburgh Pirates have hit the Game Total Under in 27 of their last 45 games (+8.20 Units \/ 17% ROI)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

        San Diego Padres – Over\/Under 3.5 Team Total (-120\/-110)<\/strong><\/div>\n

      • \n
        Ryan O’Hearn – Over\/Under 0.5 Home Runs (+900\/-2700)<\/strong><\/div>\n
