+115O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)-135

Dean Kremer – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
Dean Kremer projects to allow an average of 2 walks in this matchup, as forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
Josh Bell – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+140)
Josh Bell has seen a substantial gain in his exit velocity of late; just compare his 100.4-mph average in the last week to his seasonal 89.9-mph EV.
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.
The maximum exit velocity of any player on the Minnesota Twins has been 113.7 mph this year, ranking them as the #26 team in baseball by this standard.
Explain: If a player can hit the ball hard even once, it has great predictive power over his ability to do it again. If he’s never hit the ball hard, it’s a sign of a lack of power.

Drew Anderson – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
Given the 0.26 deviation between Drew Anderson’s 9.92 K/9 and his 9.66 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the most fortunate pitchers in the league this year in terms of strikeouts and ought to see worse results in the future.
Explain: Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value on K prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
Kevin McGonigle – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Minnesota’s 3rd-worst outfield defense of all teams today creates a favorable matchup for Kevin McGonigle, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
Hao-Yu Lee – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+175/-230)
Hao Yu Lee has an 82nd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.3%) and will have to hit them out towards the game’s 10th-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.
