Chicago White Sox Insights

• Sean Burke – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
  Sean Burke’s 2584-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 96th percentile out of all starters.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
  Colson Montgomery has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (92% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th in the batting order 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.
• Ranking 2nd-steepest in baseball since the start of last season, Chicago White Sox batters jointly have compiled a 16.1° launch angle on their hardest-hit balls (an advanced metric to evaluate power ability).
  Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Drew Anderson – Over/Under 13.5 Pitching Outs (-130/+100)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Drew Anderson to be on a pitch count in this game, projecting a maximum of 75 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.
• Gleyber Torres – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
  Gleyber Torres’s average exit velocity has fallen off this season; his 89.8-mph figure last year has fallen to 86-mph.
  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.
• Detroit Tigers – 2H Moneyline
  The Detroit Tigers bullpen ranks as the 7th-worst in Major League Baseball, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
