Betting Trends and Expert Picks for Braves vs D-Backs Saturday, April 4, 2026

-110O/U: 9.5
(-110/-110)-110

Bryce Elder – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
Bryce Elder has averaged 93.4 adjusted pitches per outing since the start of last season, checking in at the 83rd percentile.
Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Mike Yastrzemski – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
Mike Yastrzemski is certain to hold the platoon advantage against every reliever the whole game since none of the available options for the Arizona Diamondbacks share his handedness.
Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
The Atlanta Braves bullpen profiles as the 7th-best in MLB, per 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.

Mike Soroka – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
With 6 bats who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Michael Soroka will have a disadvantage while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances today.
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.
Nolan Arenado – Over/Under Total Bases
Nolan Arenado has had positive variance on his side thus far when it comes to with his wOBA since the start of last season; his .281 figure is a good deal higher than his .258 Expected wOBA, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
Explain: xwOBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s overall hitting ability more accurately than actual wOBA can.
Carlos Santana – Over/Under Total Bases
Carlos Santana pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (41.7% — 99th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards MLB’s 3rd-deepest RF 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.
