Boston Red Sox Insights
- Ranger Suarez – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)Ranger Suarez’s 2057-rpm spin rate on his fastball this year is a substantial 106-rpm increase from last season’s 1951-rpm figure.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.
- Willson Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)Willson Contreras has seen a big increase in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 98.1-mph average to last year’s 95.8-mph EV.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.
- Jarren Duran – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)Jarren Duran has a 92nd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (35.8%) and will be challenged by MLB’s 11th-deepest LF fences in today’s game.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
- Ryan Johnson – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+120/-155)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects that Ryan Johnson will allow an average of 1.4 singles in today’s outing.Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
- Jo Adell – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+135)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jo Adell’s true offensive skill to be a .334, suggesting that he has experienced some negative variance this year given the .039 gap between that mark and his actual .295 wOBA.Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
- The Los Angeles Angels (27.3% K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) are forecasted to have the most strikeout-heavy batting order of all teams on the slate.Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the most inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
