Weather & injury impact for this fixture

Conditions · who's out · how it moves the number
For Toronto Blue Jays vs Kansas City Royals: Ballpark wind and temperature can swing the run total, though the live per-park feed isn't wired into this page yet, and 28 players are listed out or questionable across both sides.
FactorThis fixture
Ballpark weatherWind and temperature at the park move run totals, but our ballpark weather module is pending a file-to-table persistence job.
Availability28 listed out or questionable (see Who's out above)

General rule: wind blowing out and warm air help the ball carry (more runs and home runs), while wind in and cold air suppress scoring; the starting pitchers listed above are the single biggest driver of the run total.

Ballpark weather module pending a file-to-table persistence job (owner). We won't show a wind/temperature number until it's persisted to the database.

Bobby Witt Jr. (KCR) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-556)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Bobby Witt Jr. for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a strong choice based on his recent performance data. Witt Jr.'s last five overall and home stolen base averages are both at 0.4, which is below the line set at 0.5. This shows that he's been stealing less than half a base per game recently, both overall and at home. Furthermore, his overall current hit streak is at 0, suggesting he might struggle to get on base to even have an opportunity to steal. Additionally, his average caught stealing (Cs) rates are low, indicating that he's not attempting many stolen bases. When he played against the Blue Jays, his stolen base average was higher at 0.6 but still not significantly over the 0.5 line. Therefore, the statistics indicate that it's unlikely Witt Jr. will steal a base in this game.
