+165O/U: 9
(+100/-120)-195

Michael McGreevy – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Michael McGreevy has used his non-fastballs 5.5% more often this year (58.6%) than he did last season (53.1%).
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.
Ivan Herrera – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
Extreme flyball bats like Ivan Herrera usually hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like Eric Lauer.
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.
Jordan Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
Jordan Walker hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40% — 98th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards baseball’s 9th-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
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.

Eric Lauer – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
Out of all SPs, Eric Lauer’s fastball velocity of 90.5 mph ranks in the 4th percentile this year.
Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Tommy Edman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)
Tommy Edman has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (51% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th on the lineup card in this game.
Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
Los Angeles Dodgers – Moneyline (-195)
The Los Angeles Dodgers projected offense projects as the strongest of the day in terms of overall offensive 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.
