Texas Rangers Insights
- Texas Rangers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+155)Nathan Eovaldi is an extreme groundball pitcher (46.9% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Yankee Stadium — the #4 HR venue in Major League Baseball — in today’s game.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
- Corey Seager – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)Corey Seager has been hot of late, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.2-mph to 100.4-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.
- Texas Rangers – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Texas Rangers’ bullpen ranks as the 5th-worst among all the teams in baseball.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.
New York Yankees Insights
- Will Warren – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Will Warren has used his fastball a lot this year, though: 65.9% of the time, grading out in the 100th percentile.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.
- Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)Batters such as Aaron Judge with extreme flyball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Nathan Eovaldi who skew towards the groundball end of the spectrum.Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
- Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)Aaron Judge hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.1% — 95th percentile) and will be challenged by the game’s 5th-deepest CF 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.
