(+100/-120)+110

Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (-130)
The Boston Red Sox outfield defense profiles as the 2nd-best among all the teams playing today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Andruw Monasterio – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+115)
Extreme groundball bats like Andruw Monasterio tend to be more successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Jose Soriano.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen ranks as the 10th-best out of all teams in the majors.
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.

Toronto Blue Jays – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
Jose Soriano is an extreme groundball pitcher (55.5% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Rogers Centre — the #7 HR venue among all parks — in this matchup.
Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
Nathan Lukes – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)
Nathan Lukes has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (82% of the time), but he is penciled in 9th on the lineup card in today’s game.
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.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-185)
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.9% — 92nd percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the league’s 10th-shallowest CF 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.
