Angels vs White Sox Pick, Betting Analysis
This bet is based on two things:
- Yusei Kikuchi's incoming positive regression
- The Angels' lineup
Kikuchi is running a 6.21 ERA, but his expected earned run indicators are much better (4.91 xERA, 3.71 FIP, 3.05 xFIP, 0.6 fWAR). He's getting BABIP'd (.357) and strand-rate'd (63.1%) to death.
As a result, I project him as a far better starting pitcher than Erick Fedde, who is actually due for some significant negative regression (3.42 ERA, 3.73 xERA, 4.87 FIP, 5.19 xFIP, 0.1 fWAR). He's been on the opposite end of the BABIP luck spectrum (.211).
The Angels have been a top-10 lineup to date by wRC+ (106), while the White Sox have been a bottom-10 lineup by the same metric (95).
While I don't see a big difference between these two bullpens and defenses, I think it's worth backing the Angels behind Kikuchi and the better bats.
Pick: Angels ML (-120 or Better)
