Minnesota Twins Insights

• Zebby Matthews – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
  Recording 17.1 outs per start this year on average, Zebby Matthews places him the 79th 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.
• The Minnesota Twins have 3 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Emmanuel Rodriguez, Aaron Sabato, Ryan Kreidler).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

San Francisco Giants Insights

• Blade Tidwell – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
  Blade Tidwell has had bad variance on his side thus far when it comes to his strikeouts this year, putting up a 7.09 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 7.69 — a 0.6 K/9 difference.
  Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value on K prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
• Drew Gilbert – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+140)
  Drew Gilbert has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (80% of the time), but he is projected to hit 1st 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.
• San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen ranks as the 4th-worst among all the teams in the majors.
  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.
