+120O/U: 10
(-115/-105)-140

Athletics – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+110)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) forecasts that J.T. Ginn will surrender an average of 3.29 earned runs today.
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
Henry Bolte – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-230/+175)
Henry Bolte is penciled in 1st in the lineup in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 73% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.
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.
Nick Kurtz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
Nick Kurtz has a 93rd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.1%) and has the good fortune of hitting them out towards MLB’s 7th-shallowest LF 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.

Shota Imanaga – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
Shota Imanaga has used his four-seam fastball 6.9% less often this season (41.8%) than he did last season (48.7%).
Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
Pete Crow-Armstrong has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.4-mph to 96.1-mph over the past 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.
Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (-140)
The Chicago Cubs projected offense ranks as the 4th-best of all teams on the slate in terms of overall batting ability.
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.
