Minnesota Twins -1.5 over Baltimore Orioles (+160)
This game features 2 pitchers whose results do not match their metrics, but in very opposite ways. Pablo Lopez of the Twins should be getting far better results than his 4.41 ERA indicates. He is fourth in Major League Baseball in strikeouts behind Spencer Strider, Kevin Gausman and Shohei Ohtani. Some metrics suggest that Lopez's ERA is a full run — maybe even run and a half — higher than it should be.
