+120O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)-140

Davis Martin – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
With 6 hitters who bat from the same side in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Davis Martin ought to benefit from having the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform better against right-handed hitters (and the same for lefties). Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Chase Meidroth – Over/Under 0.5 Runs (+190/-255)
Chase Meidroth is projected to hit 7th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 60% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order 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.

Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
Isaac Paredes pulls a lot of his flyballs (46.1% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
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.
