+105O/U: 6
(-110/-110)-125

Noah Cameron – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
Generating 17.3 outs per start since the start of last season on average, Noah Cameron checks in at the 87th percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
Salvador Perez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+135)
Salvador Perez’s launch angle this season (22.4°) is a significant increase over his 18.3° figure last year.
Explain: A high launch angle generally means the hitter can lift the ball into the air well, which is a key component for power and home runs.
Vinnie Pasquantino – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
Vinnie Pasquantino pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (38.1% — 94th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards baseball’s 6th-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Gavin Williams – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
Gavin Williams has utilized his cut-fastball 5.5% more often this season (19.5%) than he did last season (14%).
Explain: Because cutters are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
Steven Kwan – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+165/-215)
Steven Kwan’s exit velocity on flyballs has fallen off this year; his 87.2-mph mark last year has dropped to 80.6-mph.
Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
Gavin Williams – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
Projected catcher Austin Hedges grades out as an elite pitch framer, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Pitch framing is a catcher’s ability to make a ball look like a strike to the umpire, “stealing” strikes for his pitcher. This leads to more positive outcomes (like strikeouts) and fewer negative ones (like walks or earned runs).

Cleveland Guardians – Over/Under 1.5 1st Five Innings (F5) Team Total (-110/-120)
The Cleveland Guardians have hit the 1st Five Innings (F5) Team Total Under in 13 of their last 18 games at home (+7.65 Units / 34% ROI)
Over/Under 6.0 Game Total (-110/-110)
