Houston Astros Insights

• Taylor Trammell – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
  Taylor Trammell has a ton of pop (77th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s always far from assured (28.7% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Randy Vasquez has a pitch-to-contact profile (16th percentile K%) — great news for Trammell.
  Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
• Houston Astros – Moneyline (+105)
  The best projected lineup of all teams today in terms of overall batting skill belongs to the Houston Astros.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

San Diego Padres Insights

• Randy Vasquez – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Randy Vasquez to throw 85 pitches today (7th-least of all pitchers on the slate today), 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.
• San Diego Padres – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Diego Padres’ bullpen grades out as the best among all teams in the majors.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
