St. Louis Cardinals Insights<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Kyle Leahy – Over\/Under Pitching Outs<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Kyle Leahy to throw 84 pitches today (5th-least of all pitchers today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    St. Louis Cardinals – 2H Moneyline<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The St. Louis Cardinals bullpen grades out as the 6th-best in MLB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Chicago Cubs Insights<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Shota Imanaga – Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-155\/+120)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Shota Imanaga has utilized his sinker 5.2% more often this year (6.4%) than he did last year (1.2%).<\/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
      Nico Hoerner – Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-255\/+190)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      When assessing his batting average skill, Nico Hoerner is projected as the 17th-best batter in baseball by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110\/-140)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Pete Crow-Armstrong pulls a lot of his flyballs (40.6% \u2014 98th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball’s 5th-deepest RF 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
