Zebby Matthews – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
Zebby Matthews has tallied 18.2 outs per game per started this year, placing in the 92nd percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
Luke Keaschall – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-175/+135)
Luke Keaschall’s average exit velocity has declined this year; his 86.1-mph EV last season has decreased to 84.1-mph.

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.

Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
Kumar Rocker’s slider rate has spiked by 22.3% from last year to this one (15.8% to 38.1%) .
Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
Elias Diaz – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-115/-115)
Elias Diaz has experienced some positive variance in regards to his batting average since the start of last season; his .214 rate is a good deal higher than his .174 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
Josh Jung hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.9% — 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 6th-deepest CF 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.
