(-110/-110)-110

Atlanta Braves – Moneyline (-110)
The Atlanta Braves outfield defense projects as the 3rd-strongest among every team in action today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Michael Harris II – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
Michael Harris II has seen a notable improvement in his exit velocity this season; just compare his 94.2-mph average to last year’s 90.1-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.
Ozzie Albies – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
Ozzie Albies pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (40% — 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the league’s 4th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Max Meyer – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Max Meyer is expected to wring up 5.3 strikeouts in this game.
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
The Miami Marlins have 4 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Joe Mack, Connor Norby, Owen Caissie, Kyle Stowers).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
