San Diego Padres

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Anthony Kay – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
  Given his large platoon split, Anthony Kay faces a tough challenge matching up with 7 bats in the projected lineup who bat from the opposite side in today’s 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.
• The Chicago White Sox have 3 bats in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jarred Kelenic, Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

San Diego Padres Insights

• Miguel Andujar – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-255/+190)
  Miguel Andujar has been lucky in regards to his batting average since the start of last season; his .316 BA is considerably higher than his .257 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• San Diego Padres – 2H Moneyline
  The San Diego Padres bullpen projects as the best in MLB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
