Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Los Angeles Angels – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+145)
  In his last start, Grayson Rodriguez gave up a staggering 7 earned runs.
  Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
• Tyler Heineman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Tyler Heineman’s average exit velocity has decreased this year; his 84.2-mph mark last season has fallen off to 81.5-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 (+140/-185)
  Zach Neto pulls a lot of his flyballs (38% — 94th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards MLB’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
  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.

Houston Astros Insights

• Peter Lambert – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
  Throwing 93.4 adjusted pitches per outing this year on average, Peter Lambert falls in the 86th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Houston has been the #26 club in MLB when it comes to hitting balls between 23° and 34°, the launch angle range that tends to optimize home runs (14.6% rate this year).
  Explain: Balls that are hit too low can’t clear the fences, and balls that are hit too high generally don’t go far enough and are easy pop flies, but balls hit between 23° and 34° are far more likely to become home runs.
