Chicago White Sox Insights
- Davis Martin – Over/Under Pitching OutsThe leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Davis Martin to be on a bit of a short leash in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 79 pitches.Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Chase Meidroth – Over/Under Total BasesRanking in the 3rd percentile, Chase Meidroth has put up a .118 Isolated Power rate (ISO) since the start of last season.Explain: ISO is an advanced metric that measures a player’s ability to hit for power. Power, of course, is crucial for hitting home runs and extra-base hits.
- Davis Martin – Over/Under StrikeoutsProjected catcher Edgar Quero profiles as a horrible pitch framer, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).
Miami Marlins Insights
- Miami Marlins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-140)Chris Paddack has been unlucky since the start of last season, compiling a 5.35 ERA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 4.63 — a 0.72 discrepancy.Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
- Connor Norby – Over/Under HitsConnor Norby has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (50% of the time), but he is projected to bat 8th on the lineup card in this matchup.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.
- Miami Marlins – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen ranks as the 8th-worst among all the teams in the game.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.
