Houston Astros Insights

  • Spencer Arrighetti – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
    It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Spencer Arrighetti must realize this, because he has gone to his secondary pitches a lot this year: 60% of the time, grading out in the 79th percentile.
    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.
  • Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
    Yordan Alvarez is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the strong outfield defense of Texas (#3-best of all teams on the slate today).
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Brice Matthews – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
    Today, Brice Matthews is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 6th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38.8% rate (91st percentile).
    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.

Texas Rangers Insights

  • Texas Rangers – Moneyline (-145)
    The Texas Rangers outfield defense profiles as the 3rd-strongest out of all the teams today.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Alejandro Osuna – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-150/+115)
    Alejandro Osuna has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (83% of the time), but he is projected to hit 2nd on the lineup card in this game.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the team with the 3rd-least strikeout-heavy lineup on the slate today is the Texas Rangers with a 22% underlying K%.
    Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
