    Jordan Wicks – Over\/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-155\/+120)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Compared to the average pitcher, Jordan Wicks has been granted a shorter leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, throwing an -21.7 fewer adjusted pitches each outing.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Ian Happ – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135\/-170)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The Barrel% of Ian Happ has significantly improved, with an increase from 10.1% last year to 15.4% this year.<\/div>\n

  • \n
    Dansby Swanson – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145\/-190)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Dansby Swanson hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40.5% \u2014 99th percentile) and is fortunate to face the league’s 7th-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Matthew Liberatore – Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115\/-115)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Matthew Liberatore’s cutter utilization has decreased by 6.2% from last season to this one (10.6% to 4.4%) .<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Masyn Winn – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155\/-205)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      From last season to this one, Masyn Winn’s flyball exit velocity has decreased from an average of 89.6 mph to 84.2 mph.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      <\/strong><\/div>\n
      The St. Louis Cardinals have 3 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Victor Scott II, Thomas Saggese, Nelson Velazquez).<\/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
