McKinstry vs Kremer in 2026: 4 PA, 0.000 OPS — zero hits in four plate appearances this season. Career overall is .308 AVG across 13 PA but driven by earlier seasons (2023: 1.667 OPS in 3 PA, 2025: 0.833 in 6 PA); his 2026 line against Kremer is 0-for-4. McKinstry carries a .210 BA on the season with a .311 SLG. Market prices the under at essentially even money (+104, 49.0%), which is a thin edge but real if the 2026 BvP signal holds. News notes McKinstry was reinserted into the lineup replacing Brett Callahan, adding lineup context. LOW confidence given thin total bases sample.

McKinstry is 0-for-10 career vs Peralta with a 0.100 OPS across four seasons (2022-2026), including 0-for-2 in their 2026 matchup. Zero career hits in double-digit PAs is the strongest suppression signal available. Season slash of .218/.301/.321 adds to the lean. Under 0.5 hits at +122 is excellent value against this historical futility.

McKinstry is 0-for-8 career vs Skenes with a 0.000 OPS — zero hits in 8 plate appearances across 2024 and 2025. His season line of .221 AVG already shows contact struggles, and Skenes' 11.1 K/9 rate gives weak contact hitters no margin. With the total leaning under and McKinstry batting lower in a depleted DET lineup, hitting a ball in play safely vs Skenes is a longshot. +110 offers real value given the historical shutout.
