Cleveland Guardians

Chicago White Sox Insights

• Anthony Kay – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
  Generating 14.1 outs per start this year on average, Anthony Kay places in the 16th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• It may be best to expect worse numbers for the Chicago White Sox offense in future games, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 2nd-luckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year.
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Gavin Williams – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
  Gavin Williams has relied on his four-seam fastball 15.2% less often this season (22.2%) than he did last season (37.4%).
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
• Steven Kwan – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
  Steven Kwan has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (100% of the time), but he is projected to bat 9th on the lineup card in today’s game.
  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.
• Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
  The Cleveland Guardians bullpen projects as the 5th-best in MLB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
