Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Walbert Urena – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Walbert Urena’s 97.4-mph fastball velocity this year is in the 95th percentile among all starting pitchers.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Tyler Heineman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Tyler Heineman’s average exit velocity has dropped off this year; his 84.2-mph mark last season has decreased to 82-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 (-120/-110)
  Today, Zach Neto is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 6th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 39% rate (96th percentile).
  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.

Athletics Insights

• Athletics – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+110)
  Jeffrey Springs is an extreme flyball pitcher (37.5% FB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) and is stuck pitching in the #1 HR venue in Major League Baseball in today’s game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Shea Langeliers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
  Extreme flyball bats like Shea Langeliers are generally more successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Walbert Urena.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Compared to their .332 overall projected rate, the .302 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA of the Athletics projected lineup today suggests this version of the lineup considerably a bit watered down.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
