Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Jack Kochanowicz – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Jack Kochanowicz has utilized his off-speed and breaking balls 5.7% more often this season (39.8%) than he did last year (34.1%).
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Zach Neto – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
  Over the past week, Zach Neto’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 11.3% down to 0%.
  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.
• Los Angeles Angels – 2H Moneyline
  The Los Angeles Angels bullpen projects as the 9th-worst in the game, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Yoshinobu Yamamoto – Over/Under 7.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
  Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s 95.2-mph fastball velocity this year ranks in the 77th percentile out of all SPs.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Max Muncy – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-145)
  Max Muncy has seen a sizeable increase in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 97.6-mph average to last season’s 95-mph figure.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Will Smith – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Will Smith hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40.2% — 98th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing baseball’s 9th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.
