Chicago White Sox Insights

• Sean Burke – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  Sean Burke’s 2585-rpm fastball spin rate this year is in the 96th percentile out of all starters.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Miguel Vargas – Over/Under Total Bases
  Houston’s worst outfield defense of the day creates a favorable matchup for Miguel Vargas, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Chicago White Sox batters jointly place 4th- in the league for power this year when using their 92.8-mph exit velocity on flyballs.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.

Houston Astros Insights

• Ronel Blanco – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Given that flyball hitters hold a sizeable advantage over groundball pitchers, Ronel Blanco and his 38.5% underlying GB% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be in a hard spot today facing 3 opposing GB batters.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Christian Walker – Over/Under Hits
  Christian Walker is projected to hit 6th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 83% 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.
• Isaac Paredes – Over/Under Total Bases
  Isaac Paredes pulls many of his flyballs (46.1% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards MLB’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
  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.
