San Diego Padres Insights
- Michael King – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)Michael King’s sinker usage has risen by 5.5% from last year to this one (29.5% to 35%) .Explain: Sinkers are the easiest pitches to hit and generate the fewest strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his sinker more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
- Nick Castellanos – Over/Under Total BasesIn the past week, Nick Castellanos’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 6.5% down to 0%.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.
- San Diego Padres – 2H MoneylineThe San Diego Padres bullpen ranks as the 2nd-best in MLB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (-110)The Los Angeles Angels infield defense profiles as the weakest among all the teams on the slate today.Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
- Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-205/+155)Nolan Schanuel’s exit velocity on flyballs has declined this year; his 90.9-mph average last season has fallen to 86.5-mph.Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
- Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)Zach Neto pulls a lot of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of baseball’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.
