(-110/-110)-210

Matt Wilkinson – Over/Under 2.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
Given that groundball hitters perform worse against groundball pitchers, Matthew Wilkinson (39.2% GB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) is well-situated in today’s game with 2 GB hitters in the opposing club’s projected batting order.
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.
Willy Adames – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
Willy Adames’s average exit velocity has dropped off of late; his 87.1-mph seasonal figure has decreased to 83-mph over the last 14 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.
San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen grades out as the 6th-worst among all the teams in the game.
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Jake Bennett – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
With 6 batters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected offense, Jake Bennett faces a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this game.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Andruw Monasterio – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
Typically, bats like Andruw Monasterio who hit a lot of groundballs generally hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of groundballs such as Matt Wilkinson.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Eli White – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
Eli White has a 91st percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (35.9%) and will have a big advantage hitting them in the direction of baseball’s 3rd-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
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.
