-155O/U: 8
(-110/-110)+135

Bryce Elder – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
Bryce Elder has averaged 80.2 adjusted pitches per GS this year, grading out in the 11th percentile.
Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Matt Olson – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Matt Olson has seen a big improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 99.2-mph average to last season’s 96.9-mph EV.
Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
The 11% Barrel% of the Atlanta Braves makes them the #3 group of hitters in the majors this year by this standard.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Jake Irvin – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
Jake Irvin has gone to his curveball 11.4% less often this year (18.5%) than he did last season (29.9%).
Explain: Because curveballs are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
CJ Abrams – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
Despite posting a .451 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes CJ Abrams has experienced some positive variance given the .130 difference between that mark and his estimated true talent wOBA of .321.
Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
CJ Abrams – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
CJ Abrams pulls many of his flyballs (35.3% — 85th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’s 10th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
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.
