- Jarren Duran – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)Jarren Duran has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (56% of the time), but he is projected to hit 7th in the lineup today.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.

A player that is skilled at lifting his hardest hit balls into the air stands the best chance of turning them into extra-base hits or home runs.
