- Tyler O’Neill – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)Tyler O’Neill has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (52% of the time), but he is penciled in 4th in the batting order today.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.
