Toronto Blue Jays Insights
- Dylan Cease – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)Compared to the average hurler, Dylan Cease has been granted more leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, recording an additional 4.9 adjusted pitches each start.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)As it relates to his home runs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been unlucky since the start of last season. His 19.5 HR per 600 plate appearances figure has been significantly deflated relative to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected HR/600 at 27.6.Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
- Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the team with the least strikeout-heavy lineup in today’s games is the Toronto Blue Jays with a 19.1% underlying K%.Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
Chicago White Sox Insights
- Chicago White Sox – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+160)Grant Taylor’s high utilization percentage of his fastball (61.8% since the start of last season) is likely harming his results, since they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
- Austin Hays – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)Austin Hays is penciled in 6th in the batting order today, which would be a downgrade from his 75% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.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.
- Chicago White Sox – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Chicago White Sox’ bullpen projects as the 4th-worst out of all the teams in the league.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
