-1.8

1 of 13 Kansas City Royals hitters facing Troy Melton have more signals for them than against, 10 more against, averaging +0.2 a hitter — +0.5 on the power signals and 0 on the contact signals, so this leans more toward damage than base hits. Troy Melton and Kauffman Stadium add -2 on top, counted once for the whole lineup rather than once per hitter. Tonight's lineup is not posted yet, so this covers the full roster rather than the starting nine. This counts how many independent signals agree — it is not a probability and has not been graded against results.
