-140O/U: 7.5
(+100/-120)+120

Boston Red Sox – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-145)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects that Connelly Early will give up an average of 1.9 earned runs in this matchup.
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
Roman Anthony – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)
Roman Anthony’s average exit velocity has fallen off this year; his 94.5-mph average last year has dropped to 90.2-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.
Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Boston Red Sox’ bullpen projects as the 3rd-best among all teams in the majors.
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.

Dustin May – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-135/+105)
Dustin May has used his slider 16.4% less often this year (23.6%) than he did last year (40%).
Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use them less often may see less success as a result, particularly if he uses his fastball more instead.
Alec Burleson – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
In terms of his batting average, Alec Burleson has experienced some positive variance since the start of last season. His .288 rate has been quite a bit higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .261.
Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
Jordan Walker – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+135)
Jordan Walker hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (41.6% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the league’s 7th-shallowest CF fences today.
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.

St. Louis Cardinals – Moneyline (+120)
The St. Louis Cardinals have hit the Moneyline in 11 of their last 17 games at home (+5.75 Units / 32% ROI)
Boston Red Sox – Over/Under 3.5 Team Total (-140/+110)
The Boston Red Sox have hit the Team Total Under in 14 of their last 23 games (+4.45 Units / 16% ROI)
