Cincinnati Reds

Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Jose Soriano – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Jose Soriano has relied on his sinker 19.1% less often this year (29.9%) than he did last year (49%).
  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.
• Mike Trout – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  Mike Trout is an extreme flyball batter and faces the weak outfield defense of Cincinnati (#3-worst of all teams on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
  Zach Neto pulls many of his flyballs (38.8% — 95th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the league’s 8th-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Cincinnati Reds – Moneyline (-110)
  Among all the teams on the slate today, the 3rd-worst outfield defense belongs to the Cincinnati Reds.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Spencer Steer – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+130)
  The Barrel% of Spencer Steer has significantly improved, with an increase from 7.8% last year to 16.1% this year.
  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.
• The Cincinnati Reds have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Elly De La Cruz, Eugenio Suarez, Matt McLain).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
