Free Pick 6/15/19
A baseball Saturday:
MLB
Philadelphia -105 (Nola, xFIP 3.79) vs Atlanta (Newcomb, xFIP 4.79). Newcomb has a 2.59 ERA which is why the public will think Atlanta is a good play here. But he has a 43.4% ground ball rate, which is bad. The reason for his 4.79 xFIP is because he's a fly ball pitcher. He's been fortunate with only 5% of those fly balls going over the wall. Then there's Nola with a BABIP .340, which will regress to .300 so that explains his 4.58 ERA.
