Griffin Conine – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)

Graham Pauley – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
Graham Pauley pulls a lot of his flyballs (36.6% — 90th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the game’s 8th-shallowest RF fences in today’s matchup.
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.
