Athletics Insights

• Athletics – Moneyline (-125)
  The Athletics outfield defense grades out as the worst among all the teams today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Lawrence Butler – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+180/-235)
  In today’s game, Lawrence Butler is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 38.4% rate (97th 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.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Walbert Urena – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
  Walbert Urena is projected to allow an average of 2.3 walks today, as forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Oswald Peraza – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-145/+110)
  Typically, batters like Oswald Peraza who hit a lot of flyballs usually hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as J.T. Ginn.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected offense for the Los Angeles Angels in this game has an estimated true talent wOBA of .301, which is quite a bit worse than their actual wOBA of .314 this year.
  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.
