Miami Marlins

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Shane Smith – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Shane Smith’s high utilization rate of his fastball (57.5% since the start of last season) is likely hurting his results, consider they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• The Chicago White Sox have 3 bats in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Everson Pereira, Colson Montgomery, Munetaka Murakami).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Miami Marlins Insights

• Sandy Alcantara – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
  Among all SPs, Sandy Alcantara’s fastball velocity of 96.5 mph is in the 95th percentile since the start of last season.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Otto Lopez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-235/+180)
  In terms of his batting average, Otto Lopez has had some very poor luck since the start of last season. His .247 mark falls considerably below the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .282.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• Miami Marlins – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen projects as the 10th-worst out of all the teams in baseball.
  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.
