Chicago White Sox Insights

• Chicago White Sox – Moneyline (+160)
  Out of all the teams playing today, the 5th-strongest infield defense is that of the Chicago White Sox.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Chase Meidroth – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
  Chase Meidroth’s ability to hit the ball at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has increased from last year to this one, going from 9.9% to 16.1%.
  Explain: Balls that are hit too low can’t clear the fences, and balls that are hit too high generally don’t go far enough and are easy pop flies, but balls hit between 23° and 34° are far more likely to become home runs.
• Chicago White Sox – Moneyline (+160)
  The weakest projected batting order on the slate in terms of overall batting skill belongs to the Chicago White Sox.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Kansas City Royals Insights

• Michael Wacha – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
  Michael Wacha has recorded 16.9 outs per game per started since the start of last season, ranking in the 79th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Salvador Perez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Salvador Perez’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased this year; his 93.7-mph average last season has fallen to 91.4-mph.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
  The Kansas City Royals bullpen projects as the 6th-worst in MLB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
