The Minnesota lineup paces the majors in hard-hit percentage while ranking sixth in exit velocity to start the year, so I’m anticipating statistical correction ahead of their middling, 18th-ranked BABIP. Plus, Kansas City starter Cole Ragans served up a 58.3% hard-hit rate in his season debut and has surrendered 17 earned runs across 20 innings dating back to spring training.

I can't in good faith trust the Giants here. Their offense hasn't left the starting blocks yet, with just one game where they scored more than three runs. David Peterson should fare well, and the Mets should have enough offense to get to Robbie Ray.
