Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Los Angeles Angels – Moneyline (+105)Among every team in action today, the worst infield defense is that of the Los Angeles Angels.Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
- Wade Meckler – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)Wade Meckler has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (100% of the time), but he is penciled in 5th in the batting order today.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 Los Angeles Angels have 4 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Zach Neto, Mike Trout, Jorge Soler, Logan O’Hoppe).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Detroit Tigers Insights
- Casey Mize – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)Casey Mize is projected to allow an average of 1.5 walks in this outing, 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, and more.
- Zach McKinstry – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+225/-305)Zach McKinstry’s average exit velocity has decreased this year; his 85.9-mph average last year has dropped to 83.4-mph.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.
- Detroit Tigers hitters as a unit have been among the worst in the league this year ( 5th-worst) when assessing their 88.1-mph average exit velocity.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.
