Los Angeles Dodgers Insights
- Tyler Glasnow – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-150/+120)Compared to league average, Tyler Glasnow has been given more leash than the average pitcher this year, tallying an extra 6.0 adjusted pitches each outing.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Dalton Rushing – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)Dalton Rushing has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 91.1-mph dropping to 77.8-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.
- Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H MoneylineThe Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen profiles as the 3rd-best in baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
Houston Astros Insights
- Lance McCullers Jr. – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)Lance McCullers Jr. has gone to his cutter 22.8% more often this season (27.4%) than he did last year (4.6%).Explain: Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
- Zach Dezenzo – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)Zach Dezenzo has experienced some negative variance in regards to his home runs since the start of last season; his 11.0 HR per 600 plate appearances figure is significantly deflated relative to his 26.4 Expected HR/600, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
- Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)Isaac Paredes pulls many of his flyballs (47.6% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards baseball’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
