  • Jake Bennett – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    Compared to league average, Jake Bennett has been granted a below-average leash this year, tallying an -15.2 fewer adjusted pitches each game.

    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen ranks as the 10th-best out of all teams in the majors.
    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.

Chicago White Sox Insights

    Miguel Vargas is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the strong outfield defense of Boston (#1-best of the day).

  • Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
    Colson Montgomery pulls many of his flyballs (39.9% — 97th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 9th-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.
