Betting Trends and Expert Picks for Braves vs D-Backs Saturday, April 4, 2026

-105O/U: 9.5
(-110/-110)-115

Bryce Elder – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
Bryce Elder has averaged 93.4 adjusted pitches per outing since the start of last season, checking in at the 83rd percentile.
Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Mike Yastrzemski – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
Mike Yastrzemski is certain to hold the platoon advantage against every reliever the whole game since none of the available options for the Arizona Diamondbacks share his handedness.
Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
The Atlanta Braves bullpen profiles as the 8th-best in MLB, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Mike Soroka – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
With 6 bats who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Michael Soroka will have a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Alek Thomas – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
Typically, batters like Alek Thomas who hit a lot of flyballs usually hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Bryce Elder.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Gabriel Moreno – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Gabriel Moreno has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (38%) but may find it hard to clear the game’s 3rd-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
