Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Ryan Johnson – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+115/-145)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Ryan Johnson to throw 84 pitches today (6th-least on the slate), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Denzer Guzman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)Denzer Guzman has had some very good luck with with his wOBA since the start of last season; his .305 figure is a good deal higher than his .188 Expected wOBA, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.Explain: xwOBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s overall hitting ability more accurately than actual wOBA can.
- The Los Angeles Angels have 4 bats in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Josh Lowe, Logan O’Hoppe, Jorge Soler, Zach Neto).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Seattle Mariners Insights
- George Kirby – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)George Kirby’s sinker percentage has dropped by 6.4% from last season to this one (26.9% to 20.5%) .Explain: Sinkers are the easiest pitches to hit and generate the fewest strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his sinker less often will likely be more effective than he used to be.
- Cal Raleigh – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)Cal Raleigh has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (98% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th on the lineup card today.Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
- Seattle’s 92.7-mph exit velocity on flyballs ranks them as the #8 team in Major League Baseball this year by this standard.Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
