Chicago White Sox Insights

• Anthony Kay – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-170/+130)
  Anthony Kay has recorded 14.2 outs per game per started this year, placing in the 18th 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.
• Randal Grichuk – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+125)
  Randal Grichuk has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (57% of the time), but he is projected to bat 2nd on the lineup card in this matchup.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Colson Montgomery pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (40.5% — 98th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 7th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
  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.

New York Yankees Insights

• Carlos Rodon – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  Carlos Rodon’s higher utilization rate of his fastball this season (60.3 compared to 51.6% last season) is not ideal consider they are generally much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
