Now, let's get to the stacks.

Minnesota Twins

With a 5.44 implied total, the Minnesota Twins aren't exactly sneaking by anyone, but they're in a superb spot against Glenn Sparkman and the Royals.

Sparkman has a poor 5.24 SIERA, which ought to be expected when you're carrying a lowly 13.0% strikeout rate while allowing a 41.5% hard-hit rate and mere 38.4% ground-ball rate.

He hasn't been very good against either side of the plate but has a particularly sorry history against left-handed batters. We're only talking about 35.1 career innings in the split, but over that span, he's produced a 5.97 xFIP, 14.1% strikeout rate, and 11.2% walk rate.

The Twins are well equipped to take advantage, with heavy-hitters Max Kepler ($4,100), Jorge Polanco ($4,000), and Eddie Rosario ($3,900) all able to attack Sparkman left-handed. Jake Cave ($2,200) and Jason Castro ($3,000) offer up a pair of cheap lefty sticks, too. Cave produced a 39.5% hard-hit rate and .222 ISO against right-handed pitching in 2018.

Of course, it's not like we should ignore the righty sticks, and Nelson Cruz ($3,900) remains as big a home run threat as ever. He's producing a 47.8% hard-hit rate and 38.9% fly-ball rate in same-sided matchups, good for a robust .241 ISO. C.J. Cron ($3,400) and Miguel Sano ($3,600) also pack plenty of punch in the mid-range.
