Chicago White Sox Insights

  • Chase Meidroth – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
    Chase Meidroth is projected to hit 7th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 60% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this season.
    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.

Houston Astros Insights

  • Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
    Isaac Paredes pulls a lot of his flyballs (46.1% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.
