-110O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)-110

Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
Given his reverse platoon split, Joey Cantillo will be at an advantage facing 7 bats in the projected offense who hit from the other side in this outing.
Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Joey Cantillo – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), Patrick Bailey (the Guardians’s expected catcher in today’s matchup) profiles as an elite pitch framer.
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).

Drew Romo – Over/Under Hits
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Drew Romo in the 7th percentile when it comes to his batting average 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. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
