+160O/U: 8.5
(-120/+100)-185

Jose Quintana – Over/Under 13.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Jose Quintana to be on a bit of a short leash today, projecting a maximum of 75 pitches.
Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
Willi Castro – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-125/-105)
Willi Castro has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (50% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th in the lineup in this matchup.
Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
Hunter Goodman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-165)
Hunter Goodman pulls a lot of his flyballs (39% — 96th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Spencer Arrighetti – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)
With 6 batters who hit from the other side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Spencer Arrighetti encounters a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s matchup.
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.
Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
Yordan Alvarez has a good chance to have an edge against every reliever throughout the game, since the bullpen of the Colorado Rockies has just 1 same-handed RP.
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.
The underlying talent of the Houston Astros projected batting order today (.318 projected wOBA according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be a fair amount worse than their .347 wOBA this year.
Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
