+125O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)-150

Bailey Ober – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-155/+120)
Bailey Ober’s fastball velocity has decreased 1.8 mph this season (87.9 mph) below where it was last season (89.7 mph).
Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.
Luke Keaschall – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+140)
Luke Keaschall is projected to bat 8th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 51% 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.
The Minnesota Twins have done a strong job as a team optimizing their launch angles on their highest exit velocity balls. Their 15.6° angle is among the highest in Major League Baseball since the start of last season (#4 overall).
Explain: If you hit the ball hard but straight at the ground, it doesn’t do you any good. A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.

Mitch Keller – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-170/+130)
Generating 17.5 outs per start this year on average, Mitch Keller ranks in the 82nd percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
Jared Triolo – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
Jared Triolo’s average exit velocity has decreased in recent games; his 85-mph seasonal EV has fallen to 80.8-mph over the past 14 days.
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.
Pittsburgh Pirates – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Pittsburgh Pirates’ bullpen projects as the 7th-best among all teams in Major League Baseball.
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.
