Chicago White Sox Insights
- Erick Fedde – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+135/-175)Erick Fedde has posted a 7.2% Swinging Strike% since the start of last season, placing in the 4th percentile.Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
- Everson Pereira – Over/Under Total BasesEverson Pereira has big-time power (79th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s usually a big “IF” (33.1% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Janson Junk doesn’t generate many whiffs (5th percentile K%) — great news for Pereira.Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
- Erick Fedde – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+135/-175)Edgar Quero, the White Sox’s expected catcher in today’s game, projects as a horrible pitch framer according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).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).
Miami Marlins Insights
- Janson Junk – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-185/+140)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Janson Junk to be on a bit of a short leash in this game, projecting a maximum of 79 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.
- Xavier Edwards – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+200/-265)This year, there has been a decline in Xavier Edwards’s quickness with his Statcast Sprint Speed dropping from 28.31 ft/sec last year to 26.86 ft/sec currently.Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
- Miami Marlins – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen profiles as the 10th-worst among all the teams in the majors.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
