Minnesota Twins Insights

• Minnesota Twins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+115)
  In his last GS, Connor Prielipp performed well and conceded 2 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Minnesota Twins – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen ranks as the 7th-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.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Parker Messick – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
  Tallying 17.7 outs per GS this year on average, Parker Messick places him the 87th 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.
• Angel Martinez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-235/+175)
  Angel Martinez is projected to hit 2nd in the lineup in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 52% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
  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.
• Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
  Jose Ramirez pulls many of his flyballs (42.4% — 100th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 3rd-shallowest LF fences today.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
