Athletics Insights
- Athletics – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+135)Because of his large platoon split, Jacob Lopez will be at a disadvantage facing 6 bats in the projected offense who bat from the opposite side in today’s 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.
- Carlos Cortes – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)Carlos Cortes is projected to hit 8th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 68% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup 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.
Chicago White Sox Insights
- Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)Colson Montgomery pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (39.9% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 9th-shallowest RF fences today.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.
