Los Angeles Angels

St. Louis Cardinals Insights

• Hunter Dobbins – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-140/+110)
  Hunter Dobbins has been given less leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing 10.8 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Ivan Herrera – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Ivan Herrera has taken a step back with his Barrel% of late; his 5.5% seasonal rate has dropped to 0% in the past two weeks.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• JJ Wetherholt – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  JJ Wetherholt has a 77th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (33.5%) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 11th-deepest LF fences today.
  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.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Reid Detmers – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  The St. Louis Cardinals have 6 hitters in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage against Reid Detmers in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Josh Lowe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+125)
  Josh Lowe has a good chance to have an edge against every reliever throughout the game, since the bullpen of the St. Louis Cardinals has just 1 same-handed RP.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• The Los Angeles Angels have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Oswald Peraza, Mike Trout, Zach Neto).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
