Chicago White Sox Insights

  • Noah Schultz – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
    Noah Schultz’s 2509-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 92nd percentile out of all starting pitchers.
    Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
  • Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
    Extreme flyball bats like Miguel Vargas usually hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like Walbert Urena.
    Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
  • Chicago White Sox – 2H Moneyline
    The Chicago White Sox bullpen grades out as the 10th-worst in the league, 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.

Los Angeles Angels Insights

  • Walbert Urena – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
    Recording 80.7 adjusted pitches per game per started this year on average, Walbert Urena places him the 19th percentile.
    Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
    Nolan Schanuel has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (79% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th on the lineup card in this game.
    Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
  • Zach Neto – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    Today, Zach Neto is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 11th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 38.4% rate (95th percentile).
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
