+140O/U: 10
(-110/-110)-165

Minnesota Twins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+130)
Simeon Woods Richardson has been one of the luckiest pitchers in the game on balls in play since the start of last season with a .260 BABIP and should see that luck normalize going forward.
Explain: Casual fans and the mainstream media don’t realize that pitchers have limited control over the hits they allow, which can drastically skew their results and the way the market treats them.
Victor Caratini – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
Kansas City’s #3-ranked outfield defense of all teams today poses a formidable challenge for Victor Caratini, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
The Minnesota Twins have hit 32.4% of their balls in the air 100 mph or harder since the start of last season, making them the #7 group of hitters in MLB by this stat.
Explain: To hit a home run, the ball must be hit in the air and hit hard enough to clear the fence. This metric is a strong indicator of this kind of power.

Kris Bubic – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-175/+135)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Kris Bubic to be on a pitch count in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 80 pitches.
Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
Kyle Isbel – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
Kyle Isbel’s 1.7% Barrel% (an advanced stat to measure power) ranks in the 3rd percentile since the start of last season.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
Salvador Perez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
Today, Salvador Perez is at a disadvantage facing the league’s deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 37.9% rate (95th percentile).
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.
