Texas Rangers Insights
- Nathan Eovaldi – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)Nathan Eovaldi’s high usage percentage of his secondary pitches (72.7% since the start of last season) should work in his favor considering they are typically much more effective than fastballs.Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
- Ezequiel Duran – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-150/+115)Ezequiel Duran has had positive variance on his side thus far when it comes to his batting average since the start of last season; his .224 mark is a fair amount higher than his .191 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
- Danny Jansen – Over/Under Total BasesDanny Jansen pulls a lot of his flyballs (42.8% — 100th percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 4th-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.
Baltimore Orioles Insights
- Trevor Rogers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)Trevor Rogers’s 2410.9-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season grades out in the 79th percentile out of all SPs.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Pete Alonso – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)Pete Alonso’s 18.6% Barrel% (a reliable stat to evaluate power) is in the 98th percentile since the start of last season.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.
- The Baltimore Orioles have 4 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Coby Mayo, Blaze Alexander, Colton Cowser, Tyler O’Neill).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
