Los Angeles Angels Insights

  • Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (+130)
    Out of all the teams on the slate today, the worst outfield defense belongs to the Los Angeles Angels.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
  • Denzer Guzman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
    Denzer Guzman has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (55% of the time), but he is penciled in 3rd on the lineup card today.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the most strikeout-prone lineup in today’s games is the Los Angeles Angels with a 25.5% underlying K%.
    Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the most inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

    Compared to the average starter, MacKenzie Gore has been granted a longer leash than the typical pitcher this year, tallying an extra 3.5 adjusted pitches each start.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
