Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Grayson Rodriguez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)With 6 hitters of opposing handedness in the opposing team’s projected offense, Grayson Rodriguez will be at a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this outing.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Vaughn Grissom – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)Vaughn Grissom has struggled with his Barrel% of late; his 7.1% seasonal rate has dropped to 0% over the past week.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
- Los Angeles Angels – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Angels’ bullpen ranks as the 6th-worst among all the teams in the league.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
Washington Nationals Insights

- James Wood – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)James Wood has been hot of late, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 95.3-mph to 98.5-mph over the past two weeks.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.
- CJ Abrams – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)CJ Abrams pulls many of his flyballs (35.9% — 86th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 10th-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.
