Model Analysis

Luzardo is a completely different pitcher against lefties than righties, and the Twins happen to run out a lineup full of the exact bats that give him trouble. Buxton, Jeffers, and Martin all hit right-handed and have been substantially better against southpaws, which matters because Luzardo's numbers versus righties (a .304 xwOBA and a walk rate pushing nine percent) look nothing like the video-game line he posts against lefties. This is essentially a coin flip game between two evenly matched teams, with the sim landing on a one-run margin, and Minnesota is being priced like the clear underdog. +143 on the side with the platoon advantage in a projected low-scoring fight is the entire pitch.
