-110O/U: 7.5
(-120/+100)-110

Minnesota Twins – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-135)
Joe Ryan is an extreme flyball pitcher (41.3% FB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) and should be aided by pitching in the #24 HR venue among all major league stadiums in this matchup.
Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
Victor Caratini – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+135)
Kansas City’s #1-ranked outfield defense of all teams today poses a formidable challenge for Victor Caratini, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Noah Cameron – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Noah Cameron must realize this, because he has gone to his off-speed and breaking pitches a lot since the start of last season: 73.6% of the time, checking in at the 100th percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
Kyle Isbel – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
Since the start of last season, Kyle Isbel’s 1.7% Barrel%, an advanced metric for measuring power, places him in the 2nd percentile among his peers.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
The Kansas City Royals bullpen profiles as the 4th-worst in the game, according to 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.
