Minnesota Twins Insights
- Simeon Woods Richard – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)Simeon Woods Richardson’s 92-mph fastball velocity this year is in the 16th percentile among all starters.Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Brooks Lee – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)Brooks Lee is projected to hit 2nd in the batting order in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 72% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
- The Minnesota Twins have 3 batters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Tristan Gray, Byron Buxton, Ryan Kreidler).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Chicago White Sox Insights
- Davis Martin – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-200/+155)Compared to the average starting pitcher, Davis Martin has been granted more leash than the average pitcher this year, recording an extra 3.2 adjusted pitches each game.Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
- Tristan Peters – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)Tristan Peters’s average exit velocity has decreased of late; his 87-mph seasonal mark has fallen off to 79.9-mph over the last week.Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
- Chicago White Sox – 2H MoneylineThe Chicago White Sox bullpen profiles as the 5th-best in the league, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
