Chicago White Sox Insights

• Luis Castillo – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
  Compared to the average hurler, Luis Castillo has been granted a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing an extra 5.9 adjusted pitches each game.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Miguel Vargas has seen a substantial gain in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 95-mph average to last year’s 91.8-mph mark.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• The 8.8% Barrel% of the Chicago White Sox makes them the #5 club in the majors this year by this metric.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Dean Kremer – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Dean Kremer’s higher utilization percentage of his secondary pitches this season (59.3% vs. 53.7% last season) should work in his favor since they are generally much more effective than fastballs.
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Kaelen Culpepper – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
  Kaelen Culpepper hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.3% — 82nd percentile) and will have to hit them out towards baseball’s 10th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.
