-155O/U: 10.5
(-110/-110)+135

Chris Bassitt – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
Chris Bassitt’s 91.4-mph fastball velocity this year grades out in the 16th percentile among all SPs.
Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Blaze Alexander – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
Extreme flyball bats like Blaze Alexander tend to be more successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Jeffrey Springs.
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.
Baltimore Orioles batters as a unit rank among the best in MLB this year () in regard to their 89.9-mph average exit velocity.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.

Athletics – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+120)
Jeffrey Springs is an extreme flyball pitcher (37.9% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and will be disadvantaged pitching in the #1 HR venue in Major League Baseball today.
Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Carlos Cortes – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
Carlos Cortes is penciled in 8th on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be a downgrade from his 65% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
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.
Lawrence Butler – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
In today’s matchup, Lawrence Butler is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 6th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 37.4% rate (96th percentile).
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.
