Caesar’s / DK. It’s rare to find a hit rate like this at this point in the season, but opponents have 5+ hits against George Kirby in 18/20 of his starts. He’s been hittable this season, with a .278 average against, and a .257 xBA, while still maintaining his pitch efficiency and low walk rate (5%). Even though the Twins bats have cooled off, they have the 10th highest in zone swing rate this season, which should bode well against the strike throwing Kirby. The Mariners righty allows a hit every 14 pitches thrown, giving us plenty of buffer for the Twins to pick up five today.
