Alex Kolodziej’s Athletics vs White Sox Preview
Athletics Betting Preview: Soderstrom Flashing Power
It always feels like there’s a team or two that performs nothing like it did the year prior to start the new season.
A big surprise this season is the Athletics' offense, which scored runs at a bottom-five clip league wide last season.
This season, there’s an early power surge in the organization, and it isn’t Brent Rooker or Lawrence Butler headlining the offense; it’s Tyler Soderstrom, who leads the majors in home runs with eight.
Soderstrom lit up Rate Field on Tuesday, smashing two homers and driving in six runs.
Soderstrom’s numbers are excellent beyond the surface. His average exit velocity is excellent (92.5 mph) and he’s barreling nearly half his batted balls.
PRO Projections, meanwhile, remain high on the 2020 draft pick for today’s matchup.
Our numbers display a decent edge on Soderstrom in the home run market today. He’s +500 at BetMGM and our projections (0.17 HR) equate that to a good bet.
In fact, it’s the best pick of any homer bet in the A’s vs. White Sox game, based on our home run models.
