Chicago White Sox Insights

• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Colson Montgomery has been cold recently, with his seasonal exit velocity of 89-mph dropping to 79.5-mph in the last week.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Munetaka Murakami – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  In today’s game, Munetaka Murakami is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 6th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38.7% rate (88th 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.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Jacob deGrom – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jacob deGrom to throw 82 pitches in this game (6th-least of the day), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Elias Diaz – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
  In terms of his batting average, Elias Diaz has had some very good luck since the start of last season. His .221 BA has been significantly inflated relative to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .174.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• Texas ranks as the #26 squad in baseball when it comes to hitting balls between 23° and 34°, the launch angle range that tends to optimize home runs (14.3% rate this year).
  Explain: Balls that are hit too low can’t clear the fences, and balls that are hit too high generally don’t go far enough and are easy pop flies, but balls hit between 23° and 34° are far more likely to become home runs.
