Tampa Bay Rays Insights
- Ian Seymour – Over/Under StrikeoutsOver his last 3 outings, Ian Seymour has seen a big decline in his fastball spin rate: from 2197 rpm over the whole season to 2114 rpm of late.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his spin rate will likely see improved results.
- Cedric Mullins – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)Cedric Mullins is projected to hit 3rd on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 81% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.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.
- It may be sensible to expect worse results for the Tampa Bay Rays offense in future games, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 3rd-luckiest offense in baseball this year.Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Grayson Rodriguez – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)Tallying 14 outs per game per started this year on average, Grayson Rodriguez places him the 15th percentile.Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
- Los Angeles Angels – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Angels’ bullpen ranks as the 10th-worst out of all the teams in Major League Baseball.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.
