Boston Red Sox Insights
- Payton Tolle – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Payton Tolle has utilized his fastball a lot this year, though: 71.2% of the time, placing in the 100th percentile.Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
- Jarren Duran – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jarren Duran’s true offensive skill to be a .327, providing some evidence that he has experienced some negative variance this year given the .064 disparity between that mark and his actual .263 wOBA.Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
- Romy Gonzalez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)Romy Gonzalez has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.2%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them out towards the game’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.
Chicago White Sox Insights
- Noah Schultz – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)Out of all starters, Noah Schultz’s fastball spin rate of 2497 rpm is in the 92nd percentile this year.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Sam Antonacci – Over/Under HitsSamuel Antonacci has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (69% of the time), but he is penciled in 8th in the lineup 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.
- The Chicago White Sox have 4 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Drew Romo, Braden Montgomery, Junior Perez, Colson Montgomery).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
