Baltimore Orioles Insights
- Shane Baz – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)Shane Baz’s 2419-rpm fastball spin rate this year grades out in the 77th percentile out of all starting pitchers.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Coby Mayo – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)Coby Mayo is projected to bat 5th on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 86% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.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.
- The Baltimore Orioles have 3 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Tyler O’Neill, Colton Cowser, Coby Mayo).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Ryan Johnson – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-145/+115)Ryan Johnson has been given less leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, throwing 8.7 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than league average.Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
- Vaughn Grissom – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)Vaughn Grissom’s average exit velocity has dropped off in recent games; his 89.8-mph seasonal figure has fallen to 77-mph in 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.
- The 9.5% Barrel% of the Los Angeles Angels ranks them as the #5 group of hitters in the majors this year by this metric.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.
