+110O/U: 9
(-105/-115)-130

Max Kepler – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
Max Kepler has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (68% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th in the lineup in this game.
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.
Arizona Diamondbacks – Moneyline (+110)
The Arizona Diamondbacks projected batting order projects as the 5th-strongest on the slate in terms of overall hitting ability.
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.

Cristian Javier – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-135/+105)
Cristian Javier is expected to throw 85 pitches in this matchup, which is the 13th-highest number of pitches for all pitchers on the slate today. This estimate is based on his inherent tendencies and the nature of the matchup.
Explain: Pitchers who throw a lot of pitches are more likely to go deeper into the game, record more outs, and generate more strikeouts.
Houston Astros – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Houston Astros’ bullpen projects as the 5th-best among all teams in Major League Baseball.
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.
