New York Yankees

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Reid Detmers – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
  With 6 hitters who hit from the other side in the opposing team’s projected offense, Reid Detmers has a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Logan O’Hoppe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Logan O’Hoppe has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 85.5-mph dropping to 81.1-mph over the last 7 days.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• The Los Angeles Angels have 5 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Logan O’Hoppe, Bryce Teodosio, Jorge Soler, Mike Trout, Yoan Moncada).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

New York Yankees Insights

• Ryan Weathers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Out of all SPs, Ryan Weathers’s fastball velocity of 96.1 mph grades out in the 92nd percentile since the start of last season.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Giancarlo Stanton – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+130)
  When it comes to his batting average, Giancarlo Stanton has experienced some positive variance since the start of last season. His .278 rate has been a fair amount higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .210.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• New York Yankees – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the New York Yankees’ bullpen ranks as the 9th-worst among all the teams in baseball.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
