Positive Match Player Stats for White Sox vs Orioles Matchup Today

The Baltimore Orioles have 3 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Colton Cowser, Coby Mayo, Jackson Holliday).

Chris Flexen has a large reverse platoon split and should be aided by facing 7 opposite-handed hitters today.

Chris Flexen’s higher utilization percentage of his secondary pitches this year (62.6% vs. 54.5% last year) should work in his favor consider they are generally much more effective than fastballs.

The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Corbin Burnes in the 83rd percentile when assessing his strikeout skill.

Corbin Burnes has averaged 94.5 adjusted pitches per outing this year, checking in at the 87th percentile.

According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Adley Rutschman (the Orioles’s expected catcher in today’s matchup) projects as a good pitch framer.

Home field advantage generally bolsters pitcher stats in all categories, and Corbin Burnes will hold that advantage in today’s game.

Given the 0.89 difference between Corbin Burnes’s 8.22 K/9 and his 9.10 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in the game this year when it comes to strikeouts and figures to see positive regression in the future.
