-120O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)+100

Shota Imanaga – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
The Boston Red Sox have 7 hitters in the projected lineup that will hold the platoon advantage against Shota Imanaga in this game.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
Boston’s #2-ranked outfield defense on the slate today poses a formidable challenge for Pete Crow-Armstrong, 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.
Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
Pete Crow-Armstrong pulls a lot of his flyballs (42.8% — 99th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 3rd-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.
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.

Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (+100)
Among every team today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense belongs to the Boston Red Sox.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Trevor Story – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
Trevor Story is penciled in 8th in the lineup in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 66% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
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.
