Texas Rangers Insights

• Cody Bradford – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)
  Cody Bradford has a reverse platoon split and should be aided by facing 6 opposite-handed hitters today.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Brandon Nimmo – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+190/-255)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Brandon Nimmo in the 96th percentile when it comes to his batting average talent.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• Wyatt Langford – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  Today, Wyatt Langford is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 47.2% rate (94th 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.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Wade Meckler – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
  Wade Meckler has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (63% of the time), but he is projected to bat 9th in the lineup in this matchup.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• The Los Angeles Angels have 4 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Mike Trout, Oswald Peraza, Jose Siri, Zach Neto).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
