Chicago White Sox Insights
- Chicago White Sox – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+115)In his previous game started, Anthony Kay performed well and allowed 2 ER.Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
- Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)Miguel Vargas has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 94.3-mph average to last year’s 91.8-mph mark.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.
- Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-205)Colson Montgomery pulls a lot of his flyballs (40.1% — 98th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards MLB’s 4th-shallowest RF 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.
Seattle Mariners Insights
- Despite technically being the “starter” in today’s game, Bryce Miller may not go more than a couple frames since he will function as more of an opener.Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
- It may be wise to expect better numbers for the Seattle Mariners offense going forward, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) views them as the 9th-unluckiest offense in the league this year.Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.
