Cleveland Guardians

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Minnesota Twins – Moneyline (+135)
  The Minnesota Twins projected batting order grades out as the 5th-strongest of all teams on the slate in terms of overall batting ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Parker Messick – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
  The Minnesota Twins have 8 hitters in the projected lineup that will hold the platoon advantage over Parker Messick in this game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Brayan Rocchio – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-255/+190)
  Brayan Rocchio has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (75% of the time), but he is penciled in 2nd in the lineup in this game.
  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.
• Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
  The Cleveland Guardians bullpen ranks as the best in baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
