+100O/U: 8
(-110/-110)-120

Eduardo Rodriguez – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-150/+115)
Compared to average, Eduardo Rodriguez has been granted a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing an additional 6.2 adjusted pitches each game.
Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Nolan Arenado – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
Nolan Arenado has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (52% of the time), but he is projected to hit 4th on the lineup card in this game.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
Nolan Arenado – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+130)
Nolan Arenado pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (42.5% — 99th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest LF 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.

Peter Lambert – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Peter Lambert must realize this, because he has used his secondary offerings a lot this year: 60% of the time, checking in at the 80th percentile.
Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
Daulton Varsho’s average exit velocity has decreased recently; his 86.7-mph seasonal EV has dropped to 78.4-mph over the past 7 days.
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.
Houston Astros – Moneyline (-120)
The Houston Astros projected batting order profiles as the 5th-strongest of all teams on the slate today in terms of overall batting skill.
Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.
