Plate Discipline Standouts for 2020

Last year, I unveiled a new weighted index statistic for hitters – mPDI, which mirrors a famous quote by Hall of Fame pitcher, Greg Maddux: “The key to pitching is to have the ability to throw a strike when they’re taking and throw a ball when the hitter is swinging.” If we consider the inverse […]

Marcell Ozuna Swinging Hot Bat To Start Braves Tenure

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna ranks third in the Majors in average exit velocity (95.3 MPH), immediately paying dividends to kick off the 2020 year. Entering play Saturday, he was on pace to set new career bests with a .955 OPS and 155 OPS+, anchoring the middle of the Atlanta order and providing Freddie Freeman […]

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Huascar Ynoa has been tabbed to start the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Phillies, which will mark the first big league start of his career.

Freddie Freeman Blasts Two-Run Shot On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The star slugger has had an uncharacteristically slow start to the 2020 season, slashing just .217/.357/.413 through 46 at-bats. In fairness, Freeman missed a large portion of summer camp due to COVID-19 complications, […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/7/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Things didn’t go our way Thursday. Our F5 under was smooth sailing until the bottom of the fourth when the A’s tacked on four runs, giving them five total. Then Milwaukee’s offense decided to come alive, while getting a great effort from Josh Lindblom. I have no regrets in the plays, they just didn’t work […]

Ender Inciarte Could See Decreased Playing Time

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte may be the odd man out of the team’s lineup against right-handed pitching moving forward, per manager Brian Snitker. With Nick Markakis back in the mix, Inciarte found himself on the bench Thursday, a decision that Snitker reiterated by saying he would stick with that division of labor “for a […]

MLB Betting Picks (8/6/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

We got back to the win column Wednesday.
