Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (+165)The Los Angeles Angels infield defense grades out as the 2nd-worst among all the teams playing today.Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
- Tyler Heineman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-105/-125)Tyler Heineman is penciled in 5th in the batting order in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 100% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.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.
- The Los Angeles Angels have 3 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Christian Moore, Mike Trout, Zach Neto).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Pittsburgh Pirates Insights
