Royals v. Angels Basewinner Line Angels -179

Brad Keller has an alarming .821 BB/K this season. This figure ties him for the bottom of 127 pitchers with 30+ IP this season. His 17.3% K rate is 113th in this group and his 13.8% BB rate is 2nd highest.
The Angels had the best BB/K rate in MLB for the 1Q of 2019 at .61. However, they were only 15th in OPS at .754. We look for the Angels OPS number to improve.
BB/K is simple and useful number to quickly identify plate discipline skills. The BB/K ratio has moderate to strong correlation with more granular Plate Discipline metrics as well as OPS.
For the 1Q 2019, the Angels led MLB in grounding into double plays (48). However, if you look at their team overall GB% it is only 18th in MLB (42.9%). What has led to the high number Double Plays is their GB% with RISP is 50.7%. Much research has shown that RISP numbers are luck based rather than skill based. The CDSA team looks for the Angels GB% with RISP to regress to their overall GB%.

545 Toronto Raptors
546 Milwaukee Bucks
PLAY: OVER 216.5 (-110)
BET SIZE: 4%

My basketball totals system is a combination of relevant statistical data, history involving similar games, and current market data. A play is made when enough of these factors align. The size of the play is determined by a combination of how many of these factors align, how much value is perceived, and how confident I am about the play.

Projected Points Scored = 222 (Bucks 114, Raptors 108)

4% play at <= 217.5
3% play at 218 to 219
No play > 219

These two put up 208 points in Game 1 despite shooting only 37% (Toronto) and 39.8% (Milwaukee). I expect better shooting overall, which should easily put this game Over. In the two regular season meetings in Milwaukee, they combined to score 233 and 239 points. I don't expect quite that many points, but I do expect this to land somewhere in the 220's.

MLB | Pirates vs Padres

Play on: Padres -152 at BetOnline

Ben Burns is SO HOT with his 'premium' plays that some may not realize that he's also got a 12-2 RECORD with this month's 'free' plays. Here's another winner, this one coming from today's Pirates/Padres showdown at Petco Park.

While it got a little close, I won with the 'under' in last night's series opener. The Padres won 4-3. The Padres should have a solid advantage again this evening. Lucchesi has pitched well here. He's 3-1 with a 2.89 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in five home starts. Lyles hasn't had as much success here. In 22 career appearances at Petco, he's got a poor 4.42 ERA. Lucchesi blanked the Bucs for five innings the only time he started against them. On the other hand, the last time that Lyles started against San Diego, he got crushed, losing 13-6. He gave up five earned runs in 3 1/3 innings. Consider San Diego.

WHITE HOT Ben Burns won yet again Thursday. The 2-1 card gives him a 23-10 RECORD over the past week, a 16-5 mark with top-rated bets. He's an AWESOME 126-75 since April 1st! NBA is on a 15-5 RUN. MLB is one better, on a 15-4 RUN. (Those numbers don't include Ben's 12-2 free play record either.)
