New York Yankees Insights

• Gerrit Cole – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
  Gerrit Cole’s high usage rate of his fastball (52.9% this year) is likely harming his results, considering they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• George Lombard Jr. – Over/Under Hits
  George Lombard has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (74% of the time), but he is penciled in 4th in the batting order in this game.
  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.
• New York Yankees – 2H Moneyline
  The New York Yankees bullpen profiles as the 9th-worst in MLB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (+160)
  The Los Angeles Angels infield defense grades out as the worst out of every team playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Tyler Heineman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
  Tyler Heineman’s average exit velocity has fallen off this year; his 84.2-mph EV last season has decreased to 81.3-mph.
  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.
• Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  Zach Neto pulls a lot of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) but may find it hard to clear the game’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.
