Chicago White Sox Insights
- Lenyn Sosa – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-150/+120)Lenyn Sosa has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (100% of the time), but he is projected to bat 5th in the batting order in this matchup.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.
- Anthony Kay – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Edgar Quero (the White Sox’s expected catcher today) projects as a horrible pitch framer.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).
Milwaukee Brewers Insights
- Brandon Sproat – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+135/-175)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Brandon Sproat to be on a pitch count in today’s game, projecting a maximum of 76 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.
- Joseph Ortiz – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+215/-295)Joey Ortiz’s 86-mph exit velocity on flyballs (an advanced stat to study power) is in the 1st percentile since the start of last season.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.
- Milwaukee Brewers – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen profiles as the 10th-best out of all teams in the majors.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.
