Chicago White Sox Insights

• Erick Fedde – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  Grading out in the 4th percentile, Erick Fedde compiled a 7.3% Swinging Strike% since the start of last season.
  Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
• Luisangel Acuna – Over/Under Total Bases
  Luisangel Acuna’s ability to hit the ball at a HR-maximizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has decreased from last year to this one, decreasing from 10.1% to 0%.
  Explain: Balls that are hit too low can’t clear the fences, and balls that are hit too high generally don’t go far enough and are easy pop flies, but balls hit between 23° and 34° are far more likely to become home runs.
• Erick Fedde – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
  Projected catcher Edgar Quero projects as a horrible pitch framer, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).

Kansas City Royals Insights

• Michael Wacha – Over/Under Pitching Outs
  Michael Wacha has recorded 16.9 outs per game per started since the start of last season, ranking in the 79th 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.
• Salvador Perez – Over/Under Total Bases
  Salvador Perez’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased this year; his 93.7-mph average last season has fallen to 91.4-mph.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
  The Kansas City Royals bullpen projects as the 9th-worst in MLB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
