Minnesota Twins Insights
- Minnesota Twins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+110)Simeon Woods Richardson is an extreme flyball pitcher (40.6% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and will be disadvantaged pitching in the #5 HR venue among all major league parks in today’s game.Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- Austin Martin – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)Austin Martin has been unlucky in regards to his home runs since the start of last season; his 2.8 HR per 600 plate appearances figure is a good deal lower than his 10.7 Expected HR/600, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
- The Minnesota Twins have 3 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Tristan Gray, Matt Wallner, Byron Buxton).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
Toronto Blue Jays Insights
- Patrick Corbin – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)The Minnesota Twins have 7 batters in the projected offense that will hold the platoon advantage against Patrick Corbin in today’s game.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.
- Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+140)Daulton Varsho has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (73% of the time), but he is projected to bat 2nd in the batting order in this matchup.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.
- Toronto Blue Jays – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen profiles as the 4th-best among all MLB teams.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
