-130O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)+110

Nathan Eovaldi – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-170/+130)
Generating 17.4 outs per game per started since the start of last season on average, Nathan Eovaldi places in the 89th percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
Evan Carter – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+145)
Evan Carter is penciled in 2nd in the lineup in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 92% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
Danny Jansen – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
Danny Jansen pulls many of his flyballs (42.6% — 100th percentile) and will be challenged by the league’s 6th-deepest LF 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.

Luis Severino – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-165/+130)
Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Luis Severino has used his secondary offerings 8.3% more often this season (59.6%) than he did last year (51.3%).
Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
Max Muncy – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+130)
Max Muncy has seen a significant improvement in his exit velocity this year; just compare his 95.3-mph average to last year’s 87.1-mph mark.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
The Athletics have 3 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Nick Kurtz, Max Muncy, Denzel Clarke).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
