-150O/U: 9
(-110/-110)+130

Gerrit Cole – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
The Kansas City Royals have 6 batters in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage over Gerrit Cole 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.
Jose Caballero – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+240/-335)
Jose Caballero’s average exit velocity has declined this year; his 86.1-mph average last season has lowered to 82.9-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.
New York Yankees – Moneyline (-150)
The New York Yankees projected lineup profiles as the 2nd-strongest on the slate in terms of overall hitting skill.
Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Kansas City Royals – Moneyline (+130)
Among all the teams in action today, the best infield defense is that of the Kansas City Royals.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Bobby Witt Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+185/-245)
As it relates to his batting average ability, Bobby Witt Jr. is projected as the 2nd-best batter in the league by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
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.
Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
The Kansas City Royals bullpen ranks as the 3rd-worst in MLB, via 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.
