(-110/-110)+110

Sonny Gray – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-180/+140)
Recording 17.1 outs per game per started this year on average, Sonny Gray places him the 81st 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.
Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
The Boston Red Sox bullpen grades out as the 7th-best in the majors, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
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.

Pittsburgh Pirates – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
Given the 1.06 deviation between Jared Jones’s 5.03 ERA and his 3.97 estimated true talent ERA (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in Major League Baseball this year and ought to perform better the rest of the season.
Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
Nick Gonzales – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-255/+190)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Nick Gonzales in the 97th percentile when it comes to his batting average talent.
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
Bryan Reynolds – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
Bryan Reynolds has an 85th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.5%) but may find it hard to clear the league’s 10th-deepest LF fences today.
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.
