Kansas City Royals Insights

  • Kansas City Royals – Moneyline (+100)

  • Isaac Collins – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+175/-235)
    The switch-hitting Isaac Collins will bat from his worse side (0) today against Luis Severino
    Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.

Athletics Insights

  • Luis Severino – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    Luis Severino has been granted a longer leash than the average pitcher since the start of last season, recording 5.4 more adjusted pitches-per-game than the average hurler.
    Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Athletics – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Athletics’ bullpen profiles as the 5th-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.
