Toronto Blue Jays Insights
- Dylan Cease – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)Compared to league average, Dylan Cease has been given a longer leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, tallying an extra 5.2 adjusted pitches each game.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)Daulton Varsho is an extreme flyball hitter and matches up with the weak outfield defense of Los Angeles (#3-worst of all teams today).Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
- Toronto Blue Jays – Moneyline (-110)The 4th-weakest projected lineup on the slate today in terms of overall batting ability is that of the Toronto Blue Jays.Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Reid Detmers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)With 8 bats who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Reid Detmers will be in a tough position 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.
- Zach Neto – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+120)In the last week’s worth of games, Zach Neto’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 10.7% down to 0%.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
- Los Angeles Angels – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Angels’ bullpen projects as the 7th-worst among all the teams in the game.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.
