Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• José Soriano – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)
  Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Jose Soriano has used his secondary pitches 6.3% more often this season (48.8%) than he did last season (42.5%).
  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.
• Nathan Lukes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)
  Nathan Lukes has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 86.6-mph dropping to 78.4-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.
• Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the least strikeout-heavy lineup on the slate today is the Toronto Blue Jays with a 17.1% 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.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Cal Quantrill – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)
  Cal Quantrill’s 2133-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 17th percentile out of all starters.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Danny Jansen – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+260/-360)
  Extreme flyball bats like Danny Jansen generally hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like José Soriano.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Texas Rangers – 2H Moneyline
  The Texas Rangers bullpen profiles as the 10th-worst in MLB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
