Chicago White Sox Insights

• Davis Martin – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
  Davis Martin has gone to his cutter 9.4% less often this year (13.5%) than he did last year (22.9%).
  Explain: Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
• Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  This season, Miguel Vargas has experienced a significant increase in his exit velocity on flyballs, now sitting at an average of 94.8 mph compared to last year’s 91.8 mph mark.
  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.
• It may be best to expect negative regression for the Chicago White Sox offense going forward, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 2nd-luckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year.
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.

New York Yankees Insights

• Gerrit Cole – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  Gerrit Cole’s 96.1-mph fastball velocity this year ranks in the 91st percentile among all starters.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• New York Yankees batters jointly place in the league for power this year when judging by their 10.7% Barrel%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
