Ryan O’Hearn – Over/Under Total Bases
The Cleveland Guardians have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Ryan O’Hearn can likely count on never facing a bullpen mismatch all game.
Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
Pittsburgh Pirates – 2H Moneyline
The Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen projects as the 6th-best in the majors, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
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.

Logan Allen – Over/Under Strikeouts
The Pittsburgh Pirates have 6 bats in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage over Logan Allen in today’s game, which is especially precarious given his large platoon split.
Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
