Chicago White Sox Insights
- Chicago White Sox – 1st Five Innings (F5) MoneylineSean Burke is an extreme flyball pitcher (38.5% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and should be aided by pitching in the #30 HR venue in the league in this game.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
- Tristan Peters – Over/Under Total BasesTristan Peters has been lucky this year, compiling a .349 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .303 — a .046 deviation.Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
- The Chicago White Sox have 3 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel, Munetaka Murakami).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
St. Louis Cardinals Insights
- Michael McGreevy – Over/Under StrikeoutsMichael McGreevy’s higher utilization percentage of his secondary pitches this season (58.8% compared to 53.1% last season) figures to work in his favor considering they are typically 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.
- Nolan Gorman – Over/Under HitsNolan Gorman has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (73% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th on the lineup card today.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.
- St. Louis Cardinals – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the St. Louis Cardinals’ bullpen profiles as the 6th-best out of all teams in Major League Baseball.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.
