Los Angeles Angels

Athletics Insights

• Jack Perkins – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  Jackson Perkins’s high utilization rate of his secondary pitches (60.7% since the start of last season) figures to work in his favor consider they are typically much more effective than fastballs.
  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.
• Nick Kurtz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Nick Kurtz has a 93rd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.3%) and will be challenged by the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.
  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

• Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (-110)
  The Los Angeles Angels infield defense projects as the worst among every team today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Denzer Guzman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+135)
  Denzer Guzman is penciled in 2nd on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 80% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.
  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 Los Angeles Angels have 5 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jorge Soler, Josh Lowe, Zach Neto, Denzer Guzman, Logan O’Hoppe).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
