New York Yankees

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Reid Detmers – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
  With 6 hitters who hit from the other side in the opposing team’s projected offense, Reid Detmers has a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s matchup.
  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.
• Yoan Moncada – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Yoan Moncada has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 88.2-mph dropping to 81.3-mph in the past week.
  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.
• Via the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the most strikeout-prone lineup today is the Los Angeles Angels with a 27.1% underlying K%.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the most inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.

New York Yankees Insights

• New York Yankees – Moneyline (-175)
  Out of all the teams in action today, the 2nd-weakest outfield defense belongs to the New York Yankees.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Giancarlo Stanton – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+135)
  When it comes to his batting average, Giancarlo Stanton has experienced some positive variance since the start of last season. His .281 rate has been a fair amount higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .210.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• The 12.1% Barrel% of the New York Yankees grades them out as the #1 offense in baseball since the start of last season by this metric.
  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.
