    Cristopher Sanchez – Over\/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (+115\/-150)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The Pittsburgh Pirates have 6 hitters in the projected lineup that will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Cristopher Sanchez in today’s game.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Bryce Harper – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100\/-130)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Bryce Harper has an 86th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.6%) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 10th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.<\/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
      Bubba Chandler – Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100\/-130)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Bubba Chandler’s 97.8-mph fastball velocity this year grades out in the 98th percentile among all SPs.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Brandon Lowe – Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-140\/+110)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Brandon Lowe has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (92% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th in the lineup in this matchup.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      <\/strong><\/div>\n
      The Pittsburgh Pirates have 3 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Brandon Lowe, Konnor Griffin, Oneil Cruz).<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts <\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
