Texas Rangers Insights
- Nathan Eovaldi – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+120/-155)Compared to the average pitcher, Nathan Eovaldi has been given a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, tallying an additional 3.6 adjusted pitches each outing.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Kyle Higashioka – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)Kyle Higashioka’s average exit velocity has decreased recently; his 87.1-mph seasonal figure has fallen off to 81.2-mph in the past week’s worth of games.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.
- Texas Rangers – 2H MoneylineThe Texas Rangers bullpen ranks as the 2nd-worst in the league, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).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.
Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Los Angeles Angels – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+115)Given the 1.84 discrepancy between Walbert Urena’s 2.70 ERA and his 4.54 estimated true talent ERA (per the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the most fortunate pitchers in baseball this year and should see worse results the rest of the season.Explain: Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
- Mike Trout – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)Extreme groundball hitters like Mike Trout are generally more successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Nathan Eovaldi.Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
- Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)In today’s game, Zach Neto is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 38.5% rate (95th percentile).Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
