Texas Rangers Insights
- Cal Quantrill – Over/Under Pitching OutsThe leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Cal Quantrill to be limited in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 75 pitches.Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Brandon Nimmo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)Brandon Nimmo has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 92.6-mph to 95-mph in the past two weeks’ worth of games.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.
- Texas Rangers – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Texas Rangers’ bullpen ranks as the 8th-worst among all the teams in the game.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
Toronto Blue Jays Insights
- Dylan Cease – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)Dylan Cease’s slider utilization has dropped by 9.5% from last year to this one (44.4% to 34.9%) .Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39% — 93rd percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards MLB’s 10th-shallowest CF fences today.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
