Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

  • Tyler Glasnow – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-140/+110)
    Compared to league average, Tyler Glasnow has been given more leash than the average pitcher this year, tallying an extra 6.0 adjusted pitches each outing.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Dalton Rushing – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
    Dalton Rushing has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 91.1-mph dropping to 77.8-mph over 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.
  • Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
    The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen profiles as the 9th-best in baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
    Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Houston Astros Insights

  • Lance McCullers Jr. – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
    Lance McCullers Jr. has gone to his cutter 22.8% more often this season (27.4%) than he did last year (4.6%).
    Explain: Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
  • Jose Altuve – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+160/-210)
    Jose Altuve pulls many of his flyballs (42.6% — 100th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
