+165O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)-195

Tyler Phillips – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
Tyler Phillips will have the handedness advantage over 6 opposing batters in this matchup.
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.
Xavier Edwards – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
Bats such as Xavier Edwards with extreme groundball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Nick Pivetta 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.
Griffin Conine – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-125/-105)
Griffin Conine pulls many of his flyballs (37.1% — 92nd percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 6th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
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.

San Diego Padres – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-200)
In his previous outing, Nick Pivetta gave up a colossal 6 earned runs.
Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
Dustin Harris – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)
Dustin Harris has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (81% of the time), but he is projected to hit 2nd in the lineup in today’s game.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
It may be best to expect negative regression for the San Diego Padres offense going forward, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 10th-luckiest offense in the game this year.
Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
