-120O/U: 8.5
(-115/-105)+100

Nathan Eovaldi – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)
Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Nathan Eovaldi has utilized his secondary pitches 6.9% more often this season (79.4%) than he did last year (72.5%).
Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
Josh Jung – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
Josh Jung has seen a significant increase in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 95.4-mph average in the past 14 days to his seasonal 90.5-mph EV.
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.
Texas has performed as the #26 team in MLB when it comes to hitting balls between 23° and 34°, the launch angle range that tends to best-produce home runs (14.3% rate this year).
Explain: Balls that are hit too low can’t clear the fences, and balls that are hit too high generally don’t go far enough and are easy pop flies, but balls hit between 23° and 34° are far more likely to become home runs.

Grant Holmes – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
Grading out in the 76th percentile, Grant Holmes recorded an 11.9% Swinging Strike percentage this year.
Explain: Swinging Strike% measures how often a pitcher gets a batter to whiff at a pitch and is regarded to be a strong indicator of strikeout ability and overall pitching talent.
Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
Extreme flyball batters like Ozzie Albies are generally more successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Nathan Eovaldi.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Atlanta Braves – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Atlanta Braves’ bullpen grades out as the 8th-best out of all MLB teams.
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.
