Baltimore Orioles

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Bailey Ober – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)
  Bailey Ober will have the handedness advantage over 6 opposing hitters today.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform better against right-handed hitters (and the same for lefties). Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Byron Buxton – Over/Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (+430/-680)
  Byron Buxton is very fast, placing in the 100th percentile in Sprint Speed at 30.16 ft/sec since the start of last season.
  Explain: Fast players tend to get more hits as they leg out groundballs, more extra base hits, and more stolen bases.
• The Minnesota Twins have 3 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Tristan Gray, Matt Wallner, Byron Buxton).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Shane Baz – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  Shane Baz’s 96.3-mph fastball velocity since the start of last season grades out in the 89th percentile among all starting pitchers.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Taylor Ward – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Typically, bats like Taylor Ward who hit a lot of groundballs generally hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of groundballs such as Bailey Ober.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Baltimore Orioles – 2H Moneyline
  The Baltimore Orioles bullpen ranks as the 5th-best in baseball, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
