Texas Rangers Insights
- Texas Rangers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-130)Jacob deGrom’s 96.8-mph fastball velocity since the start of last season is in the 94th percentile out of all starting pitchers.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Josh Jung – Over/Under Stolen BasesJosh Jung’s footspeed has decreased this season. His 26.61 ft/sec Statcast Sprint Speed last season sits at 25.78 ft/sec now.Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
- Danny Jansen – Over/Under Total BasesToday, Danny Jansen is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 4th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 42.8% rate (100th 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.
Baltimore Orioles Insights
- Zach Eflin – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+100/-130)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Zach Eflin to be on a pitch count today, projecting a maximum of 83 pitches.Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Dylan Beavers – Over/Under Total BasesDylan Beavers is an extreme flyball batter and faces the strong outfield defense of Texas (#3-best of the day).Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- The Baltimore Orioles have 4 hitters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Blaze Alexander, Colton Cowser, Coby Mayo, Tyler O’Neill).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
