Great matchup vs righty Maeda who has a 43.8 hardhit% and 9.4 barrel rate to begin the season. About League average in xSLG and draws Devers who is a righty killer (.931 OPS last season) Devers vs Maeda: 2-for-6 with a 2B and HR

T.Houck o4.5 Ks-125

MGM. Juice at -140 at DK also OK. 73rd percentile in whiff rate so far - it’s early, but Houck - he’s always had swing and miss stuff, but last season he struggled to put hitters away. So far this season, he’s at 15 K’s in 14 IP, after a strong spring as well. A big change is the cutter that he’s been throwing to LHH - that should play well today vs a Twins team featuring 6 LHH. MIN is 7th in K% vs RHP (and 23rd in OPS). 9/L12 RH starters have hit this. Julien, Larnach and Gallo at 3, 4, 5 is great for this play.
