With your subscription to this feed, you’ll receive our entire slate of more than 20 graphics produced by the Ballpark Pal model attached to this message every morning at approximately 9:00 ET.

The graphics will reflect all AVAILABLE information at the time of posting. If we think that waiting until 9:15a or 9:30a on a given day to post will provide more information, we’ll do that. If we have everything at 8:30a, things may go out early! But we want you all to have consistency throughout the season so you know what you can expect from your subscription.

Time for Second Semester!

BallparkPal Published 1 week ago

Happy National Daiquiri Day!

We’re back! Hope everybody enjoyed their (most of a) week off - we’re back with a 14-game Friday slate that only sees the Brewers and Twins getting an extra day off following a fun All-Star Break.

The unsurprising theme of the day is pitching, as this pseudo-Opening Day will see plenty of aces head to the mound after enjoying their break. We’ve got folks like Corbin Burnes, Justin Steele, Jack Flaherty, Gerrit Cole and Tanner Bibee all making starts today, just to name a few.

Things will get started at 2:20pm ET up on the North Side, as the Diamondbacks visit the Cubs to get the “second half” underway. The aforementioned Justin Steele will be facing Ryne Nelson in this one with some light breeze blowing in from right field.

Combined with cooler July temperatures (mid-70s) and some higher air pressure in Wrigleyville, this one is actually rated as the worst scoring environment on the docket, as compared to league-wide averages. Both the books and the Ballpark Pal sims have this total listed at a meager 7.5 (+100).

Speaking of park factors, Coors Field makes its return to the schedule and is predictably back atop the field in terms of run expectancy. Other than that, there isn’t much to get excited about from the park side of things, with fairly mild conditions across the rest of Friday’s games.

Important to note that as it relates to listing pitchers, teams have been either sluggish or indecisive coming out of the break. We’ve plugged in expected starters for each team despite six teams without official listings.

Those TBDs are New York (Mets), Atlanta, Colorado, Seattle and both Los Angeles teams (LAD and LAA) - keep a wary eye on any possible updates/changes from them.

Also good to watch out for some rain in Atlanta for Cardinals @ Braves (7:20pm ET) - we’ve flagged that one for a possible delay or postponement.


The most up-to-date information from the BP sims can always be found at BallparkPal dot com, which will update as soon as possible when information changes and as lineups lock in. As a reminder, your subscription to this Research Feed does NOT include full access to the website, which requires its own unique subscription.

Complete summaries, details and explanations for ALL of the graphics provided as part of the BP Research Feed are available at this link.

Wrapping Up the First "Half"

BallparkPal Published 1 week, 5 days ago

Happy National Mac and Cheese Day!

We’re back to the standard 15-game slate (and no Sunday Night Baseball) to close things out before the All-Star Break this week.

Things get going bright and early, with Yankees @ Orioles closing out their three-game set at 11:35pm ET. Taking the mound in that one will be Carlos Rodon and Dean Kremer, two arms who have struggled in recent outings, yielding 23 and 18 runs respectively in their last four starts. They’ll also be battling the heat, as forecasts are calling for 90-degree temperatures in Baltimore, with things only getting warmer after first pitch.

That heat is a theme across a lot of our Sunday slate, with six different games looking at temperatures in the 90s and up. That list includes Cincinnati, which should also get some help from an 8-9mph wind blowing out towards left field.

It’s been an incredible run of offense at Great American Ball Park, particularly for the long ball: baseball’s top home run venue has given us an eye-popping 27 homer over the last five games, including eight in yesterday’s Marlins @ Reds matchup.

Something to watch up in Queens: Colorado’s German Marquez will take the mound for his season debut after undergoing Tommy John surgery 14 months ago. The big righty has a career 4.41 ERA and 1.28 WHIP - two very respectable numbers considering he’s been pitching his entire big league career for the Rockies and thus making half his appearances at Coors Field.

He was deservedly named an All-Star during the 2021 season, which saw him post a 3.67 ERA across the 103 innings he threw in Denver that year.

Today may be our last games before the break, but we’re still looking at a really strong group of starting pitchers heading to the mound, including Blake Snell, Chris Sale, Zac Gallen, Logan Gilbert and Max Scherzer.

PLEASE NOTE: Ballpark Pal will not be producing any All-Star Game content, so you will not receive this newsletter until things get back started with 14 games next Friday, July 19.

Enjoy the week off!

FAQ

Ballpark Pal projections are generated through a system of models that you can read about at www.ballparkpal.com/Methods.html. The approach focuses on separating player skills from external factors such as stadium variation, weather, and batted ball luck. Mechanically, the projections come from a proprietary game simulator, which pre-executes each game thousands of times.

Weather data is sourced from WeatherStack.

The BP Research Feed only pushes these sheets once per day - each morning, as close to 9:00am ET as we can get.

If there is a special situation - an error on our part or something significant that changes a LOT of sims - we may push an update through this feed, but most minor alterations will be found on X/Twitter at @BallparkPal.

The most up-to-date information from the BP sims can always be found at BallparkPal dot com, which will update as soon as possible when information changes and as lineups lock in.

The Ballpark Pal website subscription and the BP Research Feed, hosted by DubClub, are two separate products that each require their own unique subscription.

The website provides all the data produced by the Ballpark Pal model, as well as tools like the Matchup Machine, Outlier Odds, Parlay Calculator, Player Props 2.0 and a lot more.

The Research Feed is the only place to receive the daily curated reports such as the Home Run Reports, Park Factors, Pitching Previews and a ton more - more than 20 reports total - in your inbox every morning.

There are definitely overlaps between the two.

You can find large amounts of what the Research Feed provides with your website subscription. The difference is that the Feed curates it and organizes it easily, then delivers it straight into your inbox, while you'll have to track it all down on the website.

There's also a LOT more data and tools on the website than on the Feed and it updates throughout the day, while the Feed is only what we have each morning.

On the other hand, there is a lot of info on the Feed (rankings, luck ratings, etc) that can't be found on the website and it’s all presented in one clean place.

We work hard to make sure each subscription has unique value, so it's just whichever our subscribers prefer!

Game simulations are detailed processes that mimic real baseball games as closely as possible. Each game is simulated thousands of times. In each simulation, the game unfolds play by play, with outcomes determined by probability models. At the end, we aggregate the outcomes to understand the range of possible results for the game. The advantage of this approach is that it predicts every aspect of the game while naturally accounting for unmodeled factors and hidden nuances. You can read about the process in more detail here.

DFS projections are averages from the sim results and are based on the unique scoring system that each platform uses.

Park effects for individual games are based on the small handful of plays that are susceptible to their environment. Most outcomes occur regardless of the park and conditions. For example, a 450-foot fly ball is a home run in every stadium, while a game with few fly balls won't be helped or hurt much by strong wind. With some exceptions, park factors are typically secondary effects that shouldn't be thought of as a primary driver of the game's outcome. They show up over time but may not be visible in the results of individual games.

If you are still unable to access the subscription you paid for (make sure it isn’t the other one first), please send us a note using the Ballpark Pal support portal (https://www.ballparkpal.com/Support.php).

Please include:
- which product you paid for and can’t access
- the email address you used to register on that product

Those two things will make it much easier for us to help and make sure you can get back connected much quicker!

We do not make recommendations for specific bets or plays.

We are simply a research platform where people can find helpful data and collect as much accurate information as possible to inform whatever they would like to do.

We’re working on ways to easily show you what every single piece of information on the BP Research Feed means - in the meantime, basic overviews and icon keys for the graphics can be found at our website at www.ballparkpal.com/ResearchFeed.html.

If you’re still wondering about something, feel free to send us a note on the Ballpark Pal support portal or shoot us a DM on Twitter at @BallparkPal - be as descriptive as possible and we’ll be happy to help you out!
