Houston Astros Insights

• Spencer Arrighetti – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  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/-135)
  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 Total Bases
  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 38.7% rate (90th 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 (-150)
  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 (-155/+120)
  Alejandro Osuna has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (87% 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 4th-least strikeout-heavy lineup on the slate today is the Texas Rangers with a 21.8% 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.
