Washington Nationals Insights<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Jackson Kent – Over\/Under 12.5 Pitching Outs (-130\/+100)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Compared to league average, Jackson Kent has been granted less leash than the typical pitcher this year, tallying an -12.9 fewer adjusted pitches each outing.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Jorbit Vivas – Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135\/+105)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Jorbit Vivas has been cold in recent games, with his seasonal exit velocity of 82.5-mph dropping to 74.7-mph over the last 14 days.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The Washington Nationals bullpen profiles as the 4th-worst in MLB, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Texas Rangers Insights<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Cal Quantrill – Over\/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-125\/-105)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Cal Quantrill has utilized his secondary offerings 8.2% less often this year (54.6%) than he did last season (62.8%).<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Wyatt Langford – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120\/-150)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Wyatt Langford is an extreme flyball batter and matches up with the strong outfield defense of Washington (#3-best on the slate today).<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Brandon Nimmo – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125\/-165)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Brandon Nimmo hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.2% \u2014 94th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball’s 6th-deepest CF fences today.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
