T.Anderson u17.5 Outs-104

under in 4/7 starts. 5.26 era/5.45 xERA. 10.9% walk rate - more than double last season. BAL 10th in pitches per PA (3.93), and 5th in OPS and wRC+ vs LHP. 3rd in walk rate VS LHP. 11/16 non-opener starting LHP under vs BAL

T.Anderson u4.5 Ks-118

0.85u

Available at FanDuel. Anderson has started to regain some of his form from last year and has hit the over here in two of his past three games (which correlates with a change in his pitch mix). However, one of those games was against the Brewers, who never saw a lefty they couldn't boost in the strikeout department. Today, Anderson gets the Orioles, who hit lefties well and have just a 20.7% strikeout rate against lefties on the current active roster. Anderson may be trending back up, but even last year, he wasn't a high-strikeout guy.

BAL -146

1.3u

Available at FanDuel. My model puts the Orioles' win odds at 64.7%, up from 59.4% implied. Angels starter Tyler Anderson has still been trying to rekindle last year's magic. His results have been better in his past four starts with fewer four-seamers, but the peripherals are still concerning. He has a 5.72 SIERA in that stretch. He's facing an Orioles active roster that has a 126 wRC+ against lefties since the start of last year. When you add in that Tyler Wells has solid underlying numbers on the other side, I'm fine having confidence in the O's here.
