Houston Astros Insights

  • Jose Urquidy has utilized his slider 8.9% less often this year (10.6%) than he did last year (19.5%).

  • Kyle Tucker is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of Chicago (#1-worst of all teams today).

  • Jose Altuve has a high pull rate on his flyballs (41.4% — 100th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the game's 5th-shallowest LF fences today.

Chicago White Sox Insights

  • The Chicago White Sox outfield defense profiles as the worst on the slate.

  • Yoan Moncada has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (66% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the lineup today.

  • Projected catcher Yasmani Grandal grades out as a good pitch framer, via THE BAT projection system.
