Chicago White Sox Insights
- David Sandlin – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects David Sandlin to throw 84 pitches in this game (13th-least on the slate), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Tristan Peters – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)Tristan Peters has been lucky this year, compiling a .349 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .305 — a .044 deviation.Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
- The Chicago White Sox have 4 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Brenton Doyle, Kyle Teel, Colson Montgomery, Munetaka Murakami).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
St. Louis Cardinals Insights
- Michael McGreevy – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-165/+125)Michael McGreevy’s higher utilization percentage of his secondary pitches this season (58.8% compared to 53.1% last season) figures to work in his favor considering they are typically much more effective than fastballs.Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
- Nolan Gorman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-125/-105)Nolan Gorman has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (72% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th on the lineup card today.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.
- St. Louis’s 89.4-mph average exit velocity this year ranks among the elite in the majors: #4 overall.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.
