Alex Kolodziej’s Rays vs White Sox Prediction, Pick
For Tuesday, September 9th, our top MLB pick from the PRO HR Projections tool is on up-and-coming Chicago White Sox rookie, Colson Montgomery, who is facing the Tampa Bay Rays.
The White Sox are going nowhere as a team, but over the course of the second half of the season, Montgomery has been on an impressive tear, launching 10 home runs in his past 30 games and hitting four in his previous eight contests. This surge has caught the attention of our PRO projections, which utilize proprietary betting data combining player projections, odds comparisons, and market analysis to identify valuable betting opportunities.
Tonight, Montgomery’s longest odds to homer are +440. Our PRO Projections estimate Montgomery’s home run rate tonight at 0.29, translating to a 6.7% edge against the market. Although Guaranteed Rate Field traditionally isn’t considered one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks for home runs, Montgomery has defied that trend by blasting 10 of his 18 long balls this season in his home confines.
Statcast data highlights Montgomery as one of the game’s elite hitters in terms of barreling up pitches and bat speed, reinforcing the confidence in his power potential. Given the combination of his hot streak, ballpark splits, and advanced metrics, wagering on Montgomery to go deep Tuesday night stands out as a smart, calculated bet according to our PRO analysis.
