Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Patrick Corbin – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)
  Patrick Corbin’s 2133.6-rpm fastball spin rate since the start of last season is in the 17th percentile among all starters.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Tyler Heineman – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
  Tyler Heineman has been cold in recent games, with his seasonal exit velocity of 83.1-mph dropping to 79.5-mph over the last 14 days.
  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.
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
  Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.1% — 94th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the game’s 10th-deepest CF fences today.
  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.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Simeon Woods Richard – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  As forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Simeon Woods Richardson is expected to record an average of 3.7 strikeouts today.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
• Ranking 4th-highest in Major League Baseball since the start of last season, Minnesota Twins batters as a unit have recorded a 15.6° launch angle on their hardest-contacted balls (an advanced standard to study power ability).
  Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.
