-115O/U: 9
(-110/-110)-105

San Francisco Giants – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-120)
Tyler Mahle has been lucky since the start of last season, posting a 2.49 ERA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 4.11 — a 1.62 discrepancy.
Explain: Pitchers that are overperforming should be expected to pitch worse going forward, which can create value if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
Heliot Ramos – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-235/+180)
Heliot Ramos has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (60% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th on the lineup card in this 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.
San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen projects as the 6th-worst among all the teams in the league.
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.

Cincinnati Reds – Moneyline (-105)
Among all the teams playing today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense is that of the the Cincinnati Reds.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
TJ Friedl – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
TJ Friedl’s average exit velocity has dropped off this season; his 87.1-mph EV last season has dropped off to 83.2-mph.
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.
Nate Lowe – Over/Under Total Bases
Nathaniel Lowe has a 97th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (38.1%) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards the league’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.
