Willson Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
Willson Contreras has been cold in recent games, with his seasonal exit velocity of 89.8-mph dropping to 83-mph in the last two weeks.

Jarren Duran – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
Jarren Duran has a 93rd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.2%) and will have to hit them out towards the league’s 9th-deepest LF 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.

Tyler Phillips – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-150/+120)
Compared to league average, Tyler Phillips has been given less leash than the typical pitcher this year, recording an -14.9 fewer adjusted pitches each start.
Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
Xavier Edwards – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
Hitters such as Xavier Edwards with extreme flyball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Payton Tolle who skew towards the groundball end of the spectrum.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
The underlying talent of the Miami Marlins projected lineup today (.305 projected wOBA per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be considerably weaker than their .318 wOBA this year.
Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
