Minnesota Twins Insights

• Zebby Matthews – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
  Zebby Matthews has tallied 18.2 outs per game per started this year, placing in the 92nd 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.
• Royce Lewis – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Royce Lewis’s average exit velocity has declined recently; his 87.1-mph seasonal figure has decreased to 61.2-mph in the last two weeks.
  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.
• Minnesota’s 88.2-mph average exit velocity this year is one of the worst in baseball: #26 overall.
  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.

Texas Rangers Insights

• Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
  Kumar Rocker’s slider rate has spiked by 22.3% from last year to this one (15.8% to 38.1%) .
  Explain: Because sliders 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.
• Alejandro Osuna – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-175/+135)
  As it relates to his batting average, Alejandro Osuna has had bad variance on his side since the start of last season. His .228 mark falls considerably below the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .273.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  Josh Jung hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.7% — 96th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 6th-deepest CF fences in today’s game.
  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.
