+125O/U: 8.5
(+100/-120)-150

Brad Lord – Over/Under 9.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Brad Lord to be on a pitch count in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 79 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.
Daylen Lile – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+180/-240)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Daylen Lile in the 90th percentile when assessing his batting average skill.
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.
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected lineup for the Washington Nationals today owns an estimated true talent wOBA of .296, which is quite a bit worse than their actual wOBA of .330 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.

Griffin Conine – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
Griffin Conine is projected to bat 4th in the lineup today, which would be an upgrade from his 52% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
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. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.

Over/Under 8.5 Game Total (+100/-120)
The Miami Marlins have hit the Game Total Under in 22 of their last 35 games (+7.50 Units / 19% ROI)
