Baltimore Orioles Insights

• Christian Franklin – Over/Under Hits
  Christian Franklin is penciled in 7th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 50% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Baltimore Orioles – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Baltimore Orioles’ bullpen ranks as the 6th-worst out of 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.

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Minnesota Twins – Moneyline (-110)
  The Minnesota Twins outfield defense grades out as the 2nd-weakest out of all the teams today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Ryan Jeffers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Ryan Jeffers in the 94th percentile as it relates to his overall offensive ability.
  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.
