-110O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)-110

Luis Castillo – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
Luis Castillo’s higher utilization percentage of his secondary pitches this year (39.9% compared to 31.8% last year) should work in his favor since 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.
Chase Meidroth – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+155)
Chase Meidroth is projected to bat 7th in the lineup in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 57% 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.
The 8.5% Barrel% of the Chicago White Sox makes them the #8 squad in MLB this year by this standard.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Kyle Leahy – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+135/-180)
Kyle Leahy wasn’t on when it came to striking hitters out in his last outing and notched 1 Ks.
Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
Thomas Saggese – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
In today’s matchup, Thomas Saggese is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 2nd-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 37.5% rate (97th percentile).
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
