Chicago White Sox

Atlanta Braves Insights

• Atlanta Braves – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-120)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects that Martin Perez will concede an average of 2.82 earned runs in today’s matchup.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
• Matt Olson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
  Matt Olson has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 93.7-mph to 96-mph over the past 14 days.
  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.
• Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Atlanta Braves’ bullpen grades out as the 9th-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.

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Anthony Kay – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  The Atlanta Braves have 7 hitters in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage against Anthony Kay in this matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  Miguel Vargas is an extreme flyball batter and faces the strong outfield defense of Atlanta (#3-best of all teams on the slate today).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Drew Romo – Over/Under Total Bases
  Drew Romo pulls a lot of his flyballs (37.9% — 94th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 5th-shallowest LF 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.
