+110O/U: 9.5
(+100/-120)-130

Janson Junk – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Janson Junk to throw 80 pitches in today’s game (3rd-least on the slate today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
Jakob Marsee – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
Jakob Marsee has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (52% of the time), but he is projected to bat 8th 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.
Brian Navarreto – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-110/-120)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Brian Navarreto in the 3rd percentile when estimating his overall offensive 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.

Andrew Alvarez – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
Andrew Alvarez has experienced some positive variance in regards to his strikeouts this year, posting an 8.50 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 8.03 — a 0.47 K/9 discrepancy.
Explain: Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value on K prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
Jorbit Vivas – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+125)
Jorbit Vivas has a good chance to have an advantage against every reliever for the game’s entirety, since the bullpen of the Miami Marlins only has 1 same-handed RP.
Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
The underlying talent of the Washington Nationals projected lineup today (.301 projected wOBA according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be a good deal weaker than their .327 wOBA 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.
