Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Gavin Williams – Over/Under 8.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  Out of all starters, Gavin Williams’s fastball velocity of 96.8 mph is in the 90th percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Angel Martinez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-175/+135)
  Angel Martinez has negatively regressed with his Barrel% lately; his 7.9% seasonal rate has dropped to 0% in the past two weeks.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• Gavin Williams – Over/Under 8.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Patrick Bailey (the Guardians’s expected catcher in today’s matchup) profiles as an elite pitch framer.
  Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Walbert Urena – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
  Walbert Urena has averaged 91.2 adjusted pitches per game per started this year, placing in the 76th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Mike Trout – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
  Mike Trout has been cold lately, with his seasonal exit velocity of 89.8-mph dropping to 79.8-mph over the past 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 Angels – 2H Moneyline
  The Los Angeles Angels bullpen projects as the 6th-worst in Major League Baseball, per 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.
