New York Mets Insights

• Bo Bichette – Over/Under 0.5 Runs (+145/-185)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Bo Bichette as the 6th-best batter in the game when it comes to his batting average ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Sean Newcomb – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Sean Newcomb to be on a bit of a short leash in this game, projecting a maximum of 71 pitches.
  Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Runs (+145/-185)
  Colson Montgomery is penciled in 6th in the lineup in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 88% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.
  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.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+190/-255)
  Colson Montgomery pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (40.5% — 98th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 9th-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.
