Chandler Simpson – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
Chandler Simpson is projected to bat 6th in the lineup in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 70% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
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.
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the projected offense for the Tampa Bay Rays in this game has an estimated true talent wOBA of .305, which is a fair amount worse than their actual wOBA of .317 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.

Cristopher Sanchez – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
Considering that flyball pitchers hold a substantial edge over flyball batters, Cristopher Sanchez and his 55.8% underlying FB% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT) finds himself in a strong position in today’s outing facing 4 opposing FB batters.
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.
Justin Crawford – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+125)
Justin Crawford has been cold of late, with his seasonal exit velocity of 86.9-mph dropping to 79.4-mph in the past week’s worth of games.
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.
Philadelphia Phillies – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen profiles as the 8th-best out of all MLB teams.
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.
