Texas Rangers Insights

• Nicky Lopez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)
  Typically, bats like Nicky Lopez who hit a lot of flyballs generally hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Walbert Urena.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Los Angeles Angels – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+125)
  Walbert Urena has a mean projection of 2.23 earned runs in this matchup, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
• Vaughn Grissom – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Vaughn Grissom is projected to bat 6th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 83% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Zach Neto – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  In today’s matchup, Zach Neto is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 38.2% rate (94th 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.
