+100O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)-120

Grant Holmes – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-165/+130)
Grant Holmes has notched a 12.3% Swinging Strike percentage this year, placing in the 80th percentile.
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.
Ha-Seong Kim – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-130/+100)
Ha-seong Kim has experienced some negative variance in regards to his batting average since the start of last season; his .189 BA is deflated compared to his .235 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
The 8.5% Barrel% of the Atlanta Braves grades them out as the #5 group of hitters in baseball this year by this metric.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Hayden Wesneski – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+130/-165)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Hayden Wesneski to throw 80 pitches in this matchup (2nd-least on the slate today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
Christian Walker – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-145/+115)
Christian Walker is penciled in 6th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 76% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
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.
Isaac Paredes – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+155/-205)
Isaac Paredes pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (46.2% — 100th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the game’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s game.
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.
