Chicago White Sox

Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Parker Messick – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  The Chicago White Sox have 6 batters in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage over Parker Messick in this matchup.
  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.
• Travis Bazzana – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)
  Travis Bazzana has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (66% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th in the lineup in this game.
  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.
• Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cleveland Guardians’ bullpen projects as the 5th-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.

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Chicago White Sox – Moneyline (-105)
  The Chicago White Sox infield defense grades out as the strongest among every team on the slate today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Colson Montgomery pulls many of his flyballs (40.8% — 98th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 9th-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.
