This is easily my favorite look on today’s slate: Ketel Marte to go over his bases prop, priced at even money. It feels like a steal. It feels too good to pass up, because everything about this matchup is a 100% go.
After going 1-for-4 with a double—following two straight games without a hit—Marte is set up for another strong outing against Padres starter Randy Vasquez, who holds the third-worst pitcher rating on the day, per Batters-Box. The 26-year-old right-hander also owns a poorly rated matchup across the board: wOBA, ISO, strikeout percentage, and ground ball percentage. That works in our favor—we want Marte elevating the baseball.
Vasquez has a very below-average pitch mix, with nearly 70% of his pitches graded below league average. His best offering is a sinker, which he throws 18% of the time. Marte owns a .259 average, .714 OPS, and 113 wRC+ against sinkers. While he holds a -2 run value on the pitch, he also carries a .319 expected batting average. He crushes the rest of Vasquez’s arsenal, so if those are his “worst” numbers against Vasquez’s “best,” I will take it.
Marte holds the highest rating in this matchup. In just 69 elite-rated matchups on Batters-Box, he has recorded:
-
72% 1+ Hit
-
36% 2+ Hits
-
50% 2+ Bases
-
63% 2+ HRR
With all of that said, we are backing a guy who loves hitting on the road. He owns a .328 average, .690 slugging percentage, and 1.112 OPS away from home. He will be facing a pitcher who has allowed left-handed hitters to bat nearly .300 against him over his career. Love the price. Love the matchup even more.
