-120O/U: 8.5
(-105/-115)+100

Texas Rangers – Moneyline (-120)
Out of every team in action today, the 3rd-best infield defense is that of the the Texas Rangers.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Evan Carter – Over/Under Total Bases
Evan Carter’s average exit velocity has decreased lately; his 87.5-mph seasonal average has dropped off to 81.2-mph in the last week’s worth of games.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
Wyatt Langford – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
Wyatt Langford pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (47.2% — 94th percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 11th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.
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.

Reid Detmers – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
Tallying 92.5 adjusted pitches per outing this year on average, Reid Detmers places in the 82nd percentile.
Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Mike Trout – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
Texas’s #3-ranked outfield defense of all teams on the slate poses a formidable challenge for Mike Trout, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
The Los Angeles Angels have 4 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Mike Trout, Zach Neto, Josh Lowe, Jose Siri).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
