Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
Tampa Bay’s #1-ranked outfield defense on the slate today poses a formidable challenge for Jose Ramirez, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Jose Ramirez – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+130)
Jose Ramirez pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (42.9% — 99th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 5th-shallowest RF 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.

Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (-135)
The Tampa Bay Rays outfield defense grades out as the best out of all the teams on the slate today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Liam Hicks – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)
Liam Hicks has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (95% of the time), but he is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card in today’s 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.
Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (-135)
The best projected lineup of the day in terms of overall batting ability belongs to the Tampa Bay Rays.
