Los Angeles Angels Insights

• Los Angeles Angels – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-120)
  Jack Kochanowicz is an extreme groundball pitcher (52.6% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Guaranteed Rate Field — the #3 HR venue in Major League Baseball — in this matchup.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
• Nolan Schanuel – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
  Nolan Schanuel’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased this season; his 90.9-mph mark last season has fallen to 87-mph.
  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.
• The 9.3% Barrel% of the Los Angeles Angels makes them the #8 squad in the league this year by this stat.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Anthony Kay – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  The Los Angeles Angels have 8 hitters in the projected lineup that will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Anthony Kay in this game, which is especially problematic 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.
• Miguel Vargas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Hitters such as Miguel Vargas with extreme groundball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Jack Kochanowicz who skew towards the flyball end of the spectrum.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Colson Montgomery pulls many of his flyballs (39.6% — 97th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the game’s 8th-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.
