(-110/-110)+115

Atlanta Braves – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-135)
Over his previous 3 starts, Spencer Strider has put up a remarkable ERA of 2.45.
Explain: A pitcher who has been strong in his recent outings may be sharp once again in his next outing.
Dominic Smith – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
In terms of his batting average, Dominic Smith has been very fortunate since the start of last season. His .299 mark has been a good deal higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .252.
Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
Atlanta Braves bats as a unit rank near the top of Major League Baseball this year (3rd-) as far as their 89.9-mph average exit velocity.
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.

Sandy Alcantara – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+125/-165)
Sandy Alcantara has been given more leash than the typical pitcher this year, recording 8.3 more adjusted pitches-per-start than the average hurler.
Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
Christopher Morel – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
This year, Christopher Morel’s Barrel% has decreased significantly, dropping from 15.3% last year to just 0% this year.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
Christopher Morel – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)
Christopher Morel pulls many of his flyballs (40.6% — 98th percentile) but may find it hard to clear baseball’s 9th-deepest LF fences today.
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.
