New York Yankees Insights

• Gerrit Cole – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Gerrit Cole’s high usage rate of his fastball (52.9% this year) is likely harming his results, considering they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• Trent Grisham – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Trent Grisham has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (89% of the time), but he is penciled in 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.
• New York’s 89.6-mph average exit velocity this year ranks among the elite in the majors: #2 overall.
  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.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (+160)
  The Los Angeles Angels infield defense grades out as the worst out of every team playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Tyler Heineman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  Tyler Heineman’s average exit velocity has fallen off this year; his 84.2-mph EV last season has decreased to 81.3-mph.
  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.
• Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Zach Neto pulls a lot of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) but may find it hard to clear the game’s 11th-deepest LF 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.
