Texas Rangers Insights

  Ranking in the 89th percentile, MacKenzie Gore posted a 13.3% Swinging Strike percentage since the start of last season.
  Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
• Corey Seager – Over/Under Total Bases
  Since the start of last season, Corey Seager’s 15.8% Barrel%, an advanced standard for measuring power, places him in the 94th percentile among his peers.
  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.
• Texas Rangers – Moneyline (+130)
  The Texas Rangers projected batting order ranks as the 5th-strongest of all teams on the slate in terms of overall batting skill.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Philadelphia Phillies Insights

• Jesus Luzardo – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-145/+115)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Jesus Luzardo to be limited in today’s game, projecting a maximum of 84 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.
• Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under Total Bases
  Since the start of last season, Kyle Schwarber’s flyball exit velocity (an advanced standard to study power) ranks in the 100th percentile at 99.7 mph.
  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.
• Philadelphia’s 89.8-mph average exit velocity since the start of last season ranks among the best in baseball: #4 overall.
  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.
