Los Angeles Angels

Athletics Insights

• Jack Perkins – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Jackson Perkins’s high utilization rate of his secondary pitches (60.7% since the start of last season) figures to work in his favor consider they are typically much more effective than fastballs.
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Nick Kurtz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
  Nick Kurtz has a 93rd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.3%) and will be challenged by the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (-110)
  The Los Angeles Angels infield defense projects as the worst among every team today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Wade Meckler – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  In the past two weeks’ worth of games, Wade Meckler’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 6.2% 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.
• The Los Angeles Angels have 5 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jorge Soler, Josh Lowe, Logan O’Hoppe, Zach Neto, Denzer Guzman).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
