Houston Astros Insights

• Hunter Brown – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-150/+115)
  Hunter Brown has been given more leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 5.4 more adjusted pitches-per-start than the average pitcher.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Jose Altuve – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Cal Quantrill will have the handedness advantage against Jose Altuve in today’s matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Yainer Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)
  Yainer Diaz hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.8% — 90th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the league’s 6th-deepest CF 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.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Cal Quantrill – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+135/-175)
  As a result of his reverse platoon split, Cal Quantrill meets a tough challenge being matched up with 6 bats in the projected batting order of the same handedness in this outing.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform worse against same-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be worse against a right-handed hitter). Losing this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
