Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Reid Detmers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)Among all starters, Reid Detmers’s fastball spin rate of 2157 rpm ranks in the 13th percentile this year.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Oswald Peraza – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+280/-400)Oswald Peraza has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 86-mph dropping to 81.7-mph over the past week.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.
- Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)Zach Neto pulls a lot of his flyballs (38.7% — 95th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 6th-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.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.
Tampa Bay Rays Insights
- Drew Rasmussen – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)Considering that flyball pitchers have a sizeable advantage over flyball batters, Drew Rasmussen and his 47.7% underlying FB% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be in a favorable position today facing 3 opposing FB batters.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.
- It may be best to expect worse numbers for the Tampa Bay Rays offense the rest of the season, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 2nd-luckiest offense in the game this year.Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
