Host Adam Burke was ready to go with a lot of great information for today’s edition of The Bettor’s Box. Adam started by talking about the increase in home runs that we’ve seen of late and how the spin rate crackdown seems to be hurting pitchers throwing a lot of four-seam fastballs. Then it was time to talk about something new and different for the show, as Adam looked at a lot of stats at Baseball-Reference.
He highlighted the importance of baserunning and the teams that are generating and creating run-scoring opportunities based on their prowess on the basepaths. He took a look at teams that aren’t stopping stolen bases and those that are hitting for a lot of power at home, but not on the road, and vice versa. After a look at the line moves from this week, Adam previewed five series for the week ahead, with thoughts on Dodgers vs. Nationals, Astros vs. Indians, Rays vs. Jays, Red Sox vs. A’s, and Mets vs. Yankees
