-135O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)+115

Minnesota Twins – Moneyline (-135)
Among every team today, the weakest outfield defense is that of the Minnesota Twins.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
Brooks Lee – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-255/+190)
Brooks Lee has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (55% of the time), but he is projected to bat 3rd on the lineup card in this game.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
It may be sensible to expect worse results for the Minnesota Twins offense in future games, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are the 9th-luckiest offense in Major League Baseball this year.
Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.

Anthony Molina – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+145/-185)
Anthony Molina has been given a shorter leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing 15.9 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.
Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
Christian Koss – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
Christian Koss’s average exit velocity has decreased this year; his 86.7-mph mark last year has fallen off to 83.9-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.
San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen grades out as the 2nd-worst among all the teams in the league.
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.
