San Francisco Giants

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Erick Fedde – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+125/-165)
  Erick Fedde’s higher utilization rate of his secondary pitches this season (72.2% vs. 64.1% last year) ought to work in his favor consider 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.
• Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Colson Montgomery pulls many of his flyballs (39.8% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 2nd-shallowest RF 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.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-115)
  Adrian Houser was rolling in his previous GS and gave up 1 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Bryce Eldridge – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Bryce Eldridge has big-time power (89th percentile) if he makes contact, but that’s never a sure thing (30.6% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Bryan Hudson doesn’t generate many whiffs (8th percentile K%) — great news for Eldridge.
  Explain: If he is less likely to strikeout, he’ll be more likely to make contact, which is often hard, home-run contact.
• The San Francisco Giants have 3 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Daniel Susac, Bryce Eldridge, Willy Adames).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
