+120O/U: 7.5
(-105/-115)-140

Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Joey Cantillo in the 86th percentile when estimating his strikeout skill.
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available.
Angel Martinez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
Angel Martinez has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (54% of the time), but he is penciled in 1st in the lineup in this matchup.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cleveland Guardians’ bullpen grades out as the 10th-best among all MLB teams.
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.

Kansas City Royals – Moneyline (-140)
Among every team today, the best infield defense is that of the Kansas City Royals.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Lane Thomas – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
Lane Thomas has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 85.6-mph to 95.1-mph in the last week.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
Vinnie Pasquantino – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
Vinnie Pasquantino pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (37.6% — 93rd percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the game’s deepest RF fences in today’s matchup.
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
