Houston Astros Insights

  • Houston Astros – Moneyline (-135)
    The Houston Astros infield defense projects as the 5th-weakest out of all the teams in action today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
  • Christian Walker – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+155)
    Christian Walker has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (92% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the lineup today.
    Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
  • Houston Astros – Moneyline (-135)
    The Houston Astros projected offense ranks as the 3rd-best of the day in terms of overall offensive ability.
    Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

  • Grayson Rodriguez – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
    Generating 13 outs per start this year on average, Grayson Rodriguez places him the 4th percentile.
    Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
  • Jorge Soler – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
    Jorge Soler has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 88.8-mph to 98.8-mph in the last 7 days.
    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.
  • Los Angeles’s 88.1-mph average exit velocity this year is among the worst in Major League Baseball: #25 overall.
    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.
