Sandy McMillanHOST
As far as the advanced metrics go and the – what's the word I'm looking for? The underlying metrics, right? He's been as unlucky as anybody at the plate this year.
Sandy McMillanHOST
J.J. Weatherholt is in the 85th percentile of ex-WOBA with a .351, which for anybody that doesn't know what ex-WOBA is, it stands for expected weighted on base average.
Sandy McMillanHOST
It's just a really good way to look at how hard have you been hitting the ball Where have you been hitting the ball? At what angles have you been hitting the ball? And how much total offensive production should that be worth this year? And that's actually five percentile points higher than Sal Stewart is in the 80th percentile there.
Sandy McMillanHOST
Both
Eric LindquistHOST
It's lefty, same game plan.
Eric LindquistHOST
Same thing, 334 WOBA, 269 X WOBA.
Eric LindquistHOST
X WOBA, it's not going to account for the fact that this guy can apparently guide baseballs.
Eric LindquistHOST
He can just kind of like find gaps, on command do it.
Eric LindquistHOST
Because expected numbers really kind of take your free will out of it.
Eric LindquistHOST
No, Robbie Ray just simply... walks the universe that's pretty functional on FanDuel move the line move the line move the line DraftKings you're trying to get some more home runs in your life there's some concessions you actually have to make on the salary side of things too but Robbie Ray these righties should have some fun at altitude probably get walked a lot too anyway Righties against Robbie Ray, pretty straightforward.
Eric LindquistHOST
And Jake McCarthy against lefties, because Jake McCarthy is just a god.
Eric LindquistHOST
390 WOBA against lefties this year? Like, that's not a nothing sample size.
Josh EngelmanHOST
into the power alleys, he's not really given up anything else.
Josh EngelmanHOST
The ex-Woba stuff looks solid enough.
Josh EngelmanHOST
Particularly against righties, it's just downright awesome.
Josh EngelmanHOST
And, you know, obviously the Braves aren't garbage.
Eric LindquistHOST
It's lefty, same game plan.
Eric LindquistHOST
Same thing, 334 Woba, 269 X Woba.
Eric LindquistHOST
X Woba, it's not going to account for the fact that this guy can apparently guide baseballs.
Eric LindquistHOST
He can just kind of like find gaps, on command do it.
Eric LindquistHOST
Because expected numbers really kind of take your free will out of it.
7 MINS LATER
Eric LindquistHOST
I think we're pretty aware of that.
Eric LindquistHOST
But the rest of this team, it's really predicated on just moving the line.
Eric LindquistHOST
X-Woba, get on base, Victor Mason Jr.
speaker_0HOST
That paints a very bad picture.
speaker_0HOST
101 WRC+, 153 ISO, 305 WOBA.
speaker_0HOST
Ugh, not good.
speaker_0HOST
Not good.
23 MINS LATER
speaker_0HOST
His BABIP this year, career low, 282.
speaker_0HOST
But that really, like I said, isn't really the thing that sets me off when I'm talking about him being unlucky.
speaker_0HOST
It's really his X WOBA, which his X WOBA is still a career low.
speaker_0HOST
So it's still a career low expected stat, but it is 30 points higher than his WOBA.
Josh EnglemanHOST
into the power alleys, he's not really given up anything else.
Josh EnglemanHOST
The ex-WOBA stuff looks solid enough.
Josh EnglemanHOST
Particularly against righties, it's just downright awesome.
Josh EnglemanHOST
And, you know, obviously the Braves aren't garbage.
Josh EngelmanHOST
actually i might be able to go down a notch yeah i like that but i hope you guys see that as well as i see it because that looks good on my screen the stuff against lefties has been fantastic not all that surprising well i shouldn't say fantastic but it's fantastic compared to what his stuff has been against righties so 180 plate appearances.
Josh EngelmanHOST
You know, better than average X WOBA to lefties.
Josh EngelmanHOST
28% K rate.
Josh EngelmanHOST
Swinging strike rate still there.
Josh EngelmanHOST
208 X ISO.
Josh EngelmanHOST
The real ISO is worse.
Josh EngelmanHOST
351 X WOBA.
Josh EngelmanHOST
Not great.
Chris PrinceHOST
So Conine been really productive this season and of late, really swinging a good bat.
Chris PrinceHOST
Eight hits and multiple three-hit games for him here over just his last five, so really comes in in good form, leading this team in both wOBA and ISO with some impressive numbers.
Chris PrinceHOST
wOBA's pushing 400, ISO above 260 against right-handed pitching this season.
Chris PrinceHOST
Likely gonna get a combination here of Soroka and Zach Gallen.
Chris PrinceHOST
Soroka not a big strikeout guy.
Chris PrinceHOST
That's a concern with Conine, under 20% against lefties, and Soroka also giving up a 353 wOBA to lefties over the past month.
Chris PrinceHOST
We won't cover Gallen as much here.
Chris PrinceHOST
His numbers are even worse, so the matchup gets even better if he comes in the game.
Eric LindquistHOST
408 isoterites over the last month.
Eric LindquistHOST
What? What? 287x WOBA.
Eric LindquistHOST
421 WOBA? Good God.
Eric LindquistHOST
but he's also facing the Angels, so let me be very clear.
Eric LindquistHOST
Logan Gilbert, I have the least of those top three pitchers, and I am still over his projected ownership.
Mitch MossHOST
So he has, it's a small sample size, but against this Red Sox roster, 62 plate appearances, 26% K rate, only 8% walk.
Mitch MossHOST
A 127 batting average against a 176 Woba.
Mitch MossHOST
Rangers, man, they are decimated by injuries right now, though.
Mitch MossHOST
And he's $1.22 against Sandoval.
