Los Angeles Angels

San Diego Padres Insights

• Matt Waldron – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Matt Waldron to have a pitch count in this game, projecting a maximum of 75 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.
• Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Fernando Tatis Jr. has seen a sizeable improvement in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 99.8-mph average in the past week to his seasonal 95.3-mph mark.
  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.
• San Diego Padres – 2H Moneyline
  The San Diego Padres bullpen profiles as the 2nd-best in Major League Baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Jose Soriano – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Jose Soriano’s sinker rate has dropped by 18.5% from last year to this one (49% to 30.5%) .
  Explain: Sinkers are the easiest pitches to hit and generate the fewest strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his sinker less often will likely be more effective than he used to be.
• Logan O’Hoppe – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  Logan O’Hoppe has suffered from bad luck when it comes to his wOBA since the start of last season; his .275 mark is a fair amount lower than his .323 Expected wOBA, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
  Explain: xwOBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s overall hitting ability more accurately than actual wOBA can.
• Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Zach Neto pulls many of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of baseball’s 11th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.
  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.
