Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Grayson Rodriguez – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)Recording 14.6 outs per outing this year on average, Grayson Rodriguez places him the 20th percentile.Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
- Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)Zach Neto has strong power (90th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s always far from assured (26.9% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Brayan Bello has a pitch-to-contact profile (22nd percentile K%) — great news for Neto.Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
- Christian Moore – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+120)Christian Moore has a 95th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.1%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 3rd-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
Boston Red Sox Insights
- Brayan Bello – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)When it comes to his strikeout talent, the leading projection system (THE BAT) puts Brayan Bello in the 23rd percentile among all starters in the game.Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
- Isiah Kiner-Falefa – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-205)Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s average exit velocity has decreased this season; his 84.6-mph mark last year has decreased to 82.2-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.
- The Boston Red Sox have done a weak job as a team optimizing their launch angles on their highest exit velocity balls. Their 12.3° mark is among the lowest in the game since the start of last season (#28 overall).Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.
