Minnesota Twins Insights

• Joe Ryan – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
  Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Joe Ryan has utilized his off-speed and breaking pitches 8% more often this year (45.6%) than he did last season (37.6%).
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Luke Keaschall – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)
  Luke Keaschall has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (60% of the time), but he is projected to bat 1st in the lineup in this matchup.
  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 maximum exit velocity of any player on the Minnesota Twins has been 113.7 mph this year, ranking them as the #26 offense in the game by this metric.
  Explain: If a player can hit the ball hard even once, it has great predictive power over his ability to do it again. If he’s never hit the ball hard, it’s a sign of a lack of power.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Reid Detmers – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Reid Detmers’s 2141-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 8th percentile among all starting pitchers.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Tyler Heineman – Over/Under Total Bases
  Tyler Heineman’s average exit velocity has fallen off this season; his 84.2-mph EV last year has fallen to 81.8-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 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+135)
  Zach Neto pulls many of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) but may find it hard to clear the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences today.
  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.
