+160O/U: 7.5
(-110/-110)-185

Colorado Rockies – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+125)
Chase Dollander will have the handedness advantage over 6 opposing hitters in this matchup.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform better against right-handed hitters (and the same for lefties). Having this advantage against a lot of opposing hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
Hunter Goodman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
In terms of his batting average, Hunter Goodman has had some very good luck since the start of last season. His .275 mark has been a fair amount higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .217.
Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
Brenton Doyle – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
Brenton Doyle hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.6% — 90th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards MLB’s 2nd-shallowest CF fences today.
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.

San Diego Padres – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-160)
In his last start, Randy Vasquez turned in a great performance and gave up 0 ER.
Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
Jake Cronenworth – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+140)
Jake Cronenworth is projected to bat 1st on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 75% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order 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.
San Diego Padres – Moneyline (-185)
The San Diego Padres projected offense profiles as the 2nd-best of all teams today in terms of overall batting skill.
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.
