+160O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)-185

Jose Fermin – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
Jose Fermin is projected to bat 5th on the lineup card in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 77% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.
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.
St. Louis Cardinals – Moneyline (+160)
The St. Louis Cardinals projected offense profiles as the 5th-worst on the slate in terms of overall hitting ability.
Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-170)
Robert Gasser is an extreme flyball pitcher (36.2% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and will be disadvantaged pitching in the #10 HR venue among all major league parks in this matchup.
Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Garrett Mitchell – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)
Garrett Mitchell has seen a substantial gain in his exit velocity recently; just compare his 97.4-mph average in the past two weeks’ worth of games to his seasonal 93.4-mph average.
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.
Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen grades out as the 7th-best in the game, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
