Pedro Ramirez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
Pedro Ramirez is an extreme groundball hitter and matches up with the strong infield defense of Miami (#1-best on the slate).

Chicago Cubs – 2H Moneyline
The Chicago Cubs bullpen grades out as the 7th-worst in baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Tyler Phillips – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
Compared to average, Tyler Phillips has been given less leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing an -16.0 fewer adjusted pitches each game.
Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
Otto Lopez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)
Otto Lopez is penciled in 7th in the lineup in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 99% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
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.

Today, Heriberto Hernandez is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 9th-deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 37.8% rate (93rd percentile).
