-140O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)+115

Gavin Williams – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
Compared to the average hurler, Gavin Williams has been granted more leash than the typical pitcher this year, tallying an additional 6.4 adjusted pitches each start.
Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Steven Kwan – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
Steven Kwan’s average exit velocity has fallen off this year; his 86.3-mph EV last season has dropped to 83.5-mph.
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.
Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Cleveland Guardians’ bullpen projects as the 9th-best among all MLB teams.
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Noah Cameron – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Noah Cameron must realize this, because he has relied on his off-speed and breaking balls a lot this year: 71.2% of the time, placing in the 98th percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
Michael Massey – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
Michael Massey pulls many of his flyballs (38.6% — 95th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards MLB’s 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.
