Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Jack Kochanowicz – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Jack Kochanowicz has gone to his off-speed and breaking balls 5.8% more often this year (39.9%) 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.
• Logan O’Hoppe – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-125/-105)
  Logan O’Hoppe has experienced some negative variance in regards to his batting average since the start of last season; his .209 BA is quite a bit lower than his .253 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-200)
  Zach Neto pulls many of his flyballs (38.6% — 95th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 6th-shallowest LF fences today.
  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.

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (-205)
  Out of all the teams in action today, the weakest infield defense is that of the the Tampa Bay Rays.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Richie Palacios – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
  Richie Palacios has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (73% of the time), but he is penciled in 3rd in the lineup in today’s game.
  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.
• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the least strikeout-heavy lineup on the slate today is the Tampa Bay Rays with a 19.9% underlying K%.
  Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
