+110O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)-130

Stephen Kolek – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-140/+110)
Tallying 18.1 outs per outing since the start of last season on average, Stephen Kolek ranks in the 96th percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
Jac Caglianone – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
Jac Caglianone has seen a notable improvement in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 93.4-mph average to last season’s 89.4-mph mark.
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.
Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
The Kansas City Royals bullpen profiles as the 5th-worst in baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

MacKenzie Gore – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
MacKenzie Gore’s four-seam fastball percentage has fallen by 5.7% from last year to this one (49.2% to 43.5%) .
Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
Danny Jansen – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
Extreme flyball batters like Danny Jansen generally hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like Stephen Kolek.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Josh Jung hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (40.1% — 98th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards MLB’s 6th-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.
