Kansas City Royals

Texas Rangers Insights

• Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  Kumar Rocker has relied on his slider 22.4% more often this year (38.2%) than he did last season (15.8%).
  Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
• Ezequiel Duran – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
  Ezequiel Duran has taken a step back with his Barrel% recently; his 6.1% seasonal rate has fallen off to 0% in the past two weeks’ worth of games.
  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 – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Texas Rangers’ bullpen grades out as the 4th-worst among all the teams in MLB.
  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.

Kansas City Royals Insights

• Kansas City Royals – Moneyline (-120)
  Among every team in action today, the best infield defense is that of the the Kansas City Royals.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Jac Caglianone – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Jac Caglianone has seen a substantial increase in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 96.7-mph average over the past two weeks to his seasonal 93.9-mph mark.
  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.
• Jac Caglianone – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Today, Jac Caglianone is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 4th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 39.6% rate (96th percentile).
  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.
