-105O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)-115

Oneil Cruz – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-160/+125)
Chicago’s #3-ranked outfield defense of all teams on the slate poses a formidable challenge for Oneil Cruz, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Hagen Smith – Over/Under 6.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Hagen Smith to be limited today, projecting a maximum of 70 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.
Chase Meidroth – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+130)
Chase Meidroth is projected to hit 7th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 57% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
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.
Colson Montgomery – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
Colson Montgomery pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (41.1% — 98th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards baseball’s 9th-shallowest RF 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.
