Chicago White Sox Insights

• Chase Meidroth – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-150/+120)
  Chase Meidroth has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (67% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the batting order in this matchup.
  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.

Detroit Tigers Insights

• Javier Baez – Over/Under Total Bases
  Javier Baez has been cold recently, with his seasonal exit velocity of 85-mph dropping to 83-mph in the last two weeks.
  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.
• Gleyber Torres – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Today, Gleyber Torres is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 10th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 40.1% rate (99th 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.
