Minnesota Twins Insights
- Mike Paredes – Over/Under 11.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Mike Paredes to be limited in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 81 pitches.Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Royce Lewis – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+155)Royce Lewis is projected to hit 4th on the lineup card today, which would be an upgrade from his 88% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
- Alex Jackson – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)In today’s matchup, Alex Jackson is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 3rd-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 39.3% rate (95th percentile).Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the least strikeout-heavy lineup today is the Arizona Diamondbacks with a 19.5% underlying K%.Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
