Baltimore Orioles

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (+125)
  Among all the teams in action today, the 3rd-worst infield defense belongs to the Los Angeles Angels.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
  Nolan Schanuel has seen a substantial increase in his exit velocity of late; just compare his 92.2-mph average over the last 7 days to his seasonal 87.4-mph mark.
  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 (+110/-145)
  Zach Neto pulls a lot of his flyballs (37.8% — 94th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards 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

• Cade Povich – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-150/+120)
  Cade Povich has been given a shorter leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing 14.2 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than league average.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Gunnar Henderson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Despite posting a .298 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Gunnar Henderson has experienced some negative variance given the .043 gap between that figure and his estimated true talent wOBA of .341.
  Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
• Today’s version of the Orioles projected offense is weaker than usual, as their .319 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA is considerably below their .331 overall projected rate.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
