White Sox vs Athletics MLB Betting Preview, Expert Player Prop Pick
By Derek Carty
Anytime they give me the right number on this, I'm going to go back to it. Munataka Murakami is a huge strikeout guy.
He struck out 33 % of the time this year, and if you look at his Fangraphs page, most of the systems think he's actually going to strike out more than that.
THE BAT X has him as a 36 % a strikeout rate guy. He's gotten over this number 43 % of the time this year.
So they're mispricing it. THE BAT X thinks the fair value on this should be -20.
It projects him for one and three-quarters strikeouts, and we're getting it at big plus odds. So this one looks really good.
I think we're probably getting it at such a big number because he's facing Aaron Civale, who is a low-strikeout pitcher. But for a guy who whiffs as much as Murakami does, even against a low strikeout pitcher, the strikeout projection is still gonna be high for him.
