Chicago White Sox Insights

• Anthony Kay – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  The Texas Rangers have 6 batters in the projected lineup that will hold the platoon advantage over Anthony Kay in this game, which is especially troublesome given his large platoon split.
  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.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Runs (+165/-215)
  Colson Montgomery is projected to hit 6th on the lineup card today, which would be a downgrade from his 86% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order 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.
