His last three starts were solid: 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 9 K, 0 BB; 6.0 IP, 4 ER, 6 K, 0 BB; and 7.0 IP, 2 ER, 6 K, 0 BB. The trend is up, with strong control and only 8 earned runs allowed across his last 19 innings. Dean Kremer has a 5.93 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 41.0 innings, with 8.78 K/9, 2.85 BB/9, and a high 2.63 HR/9. His last three starts were 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 2 K, 2 BB; 4.0 IP, 8 ER, 4 K, 3 BB; and 6.0 IP, 6 ER, 5 K, 1 BB. The trend is also up, but the home run rate remains the biggest concern despite the improved most recent outing.
Teams — Baltimore enters with a .714 OPS, 528 runs scored, a .235 team average, and a 4.19 team ERA with a 1.33 WHIP. The Orioles are 5-5 over their last 10 games. Minnesota has a slightly better .722 OPS, 553 runs scored, and a .243 team average, but the pitching staff has been less effective overall with a 4.59 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. The Twins are 4-6 in their last 10. From a betting perspective, Minnesota brings the stronger season-long offense by OPS and runs, while Baltimore shows the steadier run prevention profile on the mound both from the starter and the staff as a whole.
Carlos Narváez owns the best history against Dean Kremer, going 2-for-2 in 3 PA with a 2.000 OPS. Pete Alonso is 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS, Tyler O'Neill is 0-for-3 in 3 PA with a .000 OPS, and Leody Taveras is 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS. Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday, Dylan Beavers, Coby Mayo, and Colton Cowser have no MLB history vs Kremer, so Baltimore brings only a few prior looks into this matchup.
Josh Bell has the deepest track record against Trevor Rogers, going 6-for-15 in 16 PA with a .971 OPS. Austin Martin, Ryan Jeffers, and Luke Keaschall are each 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS, while Royce Lewis is hitless at 0-for-2 in 3 PA with a .333 OPS. Brooks Lee is 0-for-3 with a .000 OPS, Victor Caratini is 0-for-1 in 2 PA with a .500 OPS, and Kaelen Culpepper plus Ryan Kreidler have no MLB history vs Rogers.
Minnesota clearly has more familiarity with the opposing starter, with several hitters carrying prior at-bats and Bell standing out with the most substantial success. Baltimore has one strong matchup in Narváez, but most of that order has either limited history or none at all against Kremer.
