Kansas City Royals Insights

• Noah Cameron – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
  Among all starters, Noah Cameron’s fastball velocity of 91.8 mph is in the 11th percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Jac Caglianone – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  Jac Caglianone has seen a substantial gain in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 92.9-mph average to last season’s 89.4-mph figure.
  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.
• Jac Caglianone – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  Jac Caglianone hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.8% — 90th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the league’s 10th-deepest CF 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.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Minnesota Twins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-140)
  Bailey Ober is an extreme flyball pitcher (43.9% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) and is fortunate enough to be pitching in the #25 HR venue among all major league parks in this matchup.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
• Minnesota’s 15.3° launch angle (a reliable standard to assess the ability to lift the ball for power) is one of the steepest in Major League Baseball this year: #3 overall.
  Explain: A high launch angle generally means the hitter can lift the ball into the air well, which is a key component for power and home runs.
