-105O/U: 6.5
(-120/+100)-115

Atlanta Braves – Moneyline (-105)
The Atlanta Braves outfield defense projects as the 3rd-worst among every team in action today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
Bats such as Ozzie Albies with extreme groundball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Cristopher Sanchez who skew towards the flyball end of the spectrum.
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.
Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
The Atlanta Braves bullpen ranks as the 6th-worst in the league, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Cristopher Sanchez – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
Given that groundball pitchers are least effective against flyball hitters, Cristopher Sanchez (56.1% GB% via the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in today’s game with 2 FB hitters in Atlanta’s projected offense.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Bryce Harper – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
Chris Sale will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Bryce Harper today… and it’s a particular mismatch considering Sale’s large platoon split.
Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Bryce Harper – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
Bryce Harper has an 83rd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.3%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 10th-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
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.
