Los Angeles Angels Insights

  • Yusei Kikuchi – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
    The Chicago White Sox have 6 hitters in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage over Yusei Kikuchi in this matchup.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Mike Trout – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
    Mike Trout has big-time power (99th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s never a sure thing (27.2% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Erick Fedde struggles to strike batters out (23rd percentile K%) — great news for Trout.
    Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.

Chicago White Sox Insights

  • Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
    Colson Montgomery pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (39.6% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 9th-shallowest RF fences today.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
