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

Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (-140)
The Milwaukee Brewers infield defense profiles as the 2nd-best out of all the teams in action today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Garrett Mitchell – Over/Under Total Bases
Garrett Mitchell has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 93.4-mph to 97.8-mph in the last two weeks’ worth of games.
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.
Brice Turang – Over/Under Total Bases
Brice Turang has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (43.3%) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball’s 4th-deepest LF fences today.
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.

Cade Povich – Over/Under Pitching Outs
Considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup, Cade Povich is projected to throw 85 pitches in today’s matchup by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) system, which is the 11th-least of all pitchers on the slate.
Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
Christian Encarnacion-Strand – Over/Under Total Bases
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s true offensive skill to be a .311, providing some evidence that he has experienced some positive variance this year given the .048 deviation between that figure and his actual .359 wOBA.
Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
The Baltimore Orioles have 4 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Colton Cowser, Rece Hinds, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Coby Mayo).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Baltimore Orioles – Over/Under Team Total
The Baltimore Orioles have hit the Team Total Under in 13 of their last 20 games at home (+5.30 Units / 23% ROI)
