+100O/U: 8
(+100/-120)-120

Philadelphia Phillies – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-105)
Aaron Nola has been one of the unluckiest mound aces in MLB on balls in play this year with a .353 BABIP and ought to see that luck normalize going forward.
Explain: Casual fans and the mainstream media don’t realize that pitchers have limited control over the hits they allow, which can drastically skew their results and the way the market treats them.
Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-165)
Kyle Schwarber is an extreme flyball batter and matches up with the weak outfield defense of San Diego (#3-worst of the day).
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
Philadelphia Phillies – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen projects as the 2nd-best out of all teams in the majors.
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Ramon Laureano – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
Ramon Laureano is projected to bat 8th on the lineup card in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 61% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
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.
Fernando Tatis Jr. – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
Fernando Tatis Jr. hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.4% — 99th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest CF 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.
