On the other side of that same game, the White Sox boast a solid 4.88 implied total while the Rangers start right-hander Yovani Gallardo.
Gallardo has only pitched in five Major League games this season, but his 5.98 SIERA is an egregious clip. His 13.6% walk rate also matches his 13.6% strikeout rate, and he's coming off a 2017 campaign that saw him post a 5.27 SIERA, after managing a 5.34 mark in 2016. That leaves little room for optimism this evening.
Avisail Garcia has not been producing well this season, but he has been making some great contact. His 17.3% soft-hit rate is slightly below his career-average, while his 37.3% hard-hit rate is on pace to be a career-best. He has made 500 plate appearances against right-handed pitchers over the last 2 seasons, notching a serviceable .339 wOBA and .171 ISO in that sample.
numberFire's models have Garcia projected as a top-three point-per-dollar value tonight.
