San Francisco Giants

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Connor Prielipp – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
  The San Francisco Giants have 6 batters in the projected batting order that will hold the platoon advantage over Connor Prielipp today.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Walker Jenkins – Over/Under Total Bases
  Walker Jenkins has a good chance to have the upper hand against every reliever for the duration of the game, since the bullpen of the San Francisco Giants has just 1 same-handed RP.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+115)
  Cesar Perdomo was rolling in his last game started and allowed 0 ER.
  Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
• Turner Hill – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Turner Hill in the 90th percentile when assessing his batting average ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
  The San Francisco Giants bullpen projects as the 4th-worst in the league, per 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.
