-125O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)+105

Eury Perez – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
Eury Perez has relied on his four-seam fastball 11.8% less often this season (39.7%) than he did last season (51.5%).
Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball lessoften will likely be more effective than he used to be.
Xavier Edwards – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-225/+170)
Cincinnati’s #2-ranked outfield defense of all teams today poses a formidable challenge for Xavier Edwards, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Heriberto Hernandez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-145)
Heriberto Hernandez pulls many of his flyballs (36.4% — 89th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards baseball’s 8th-shallowest LF 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.

Cincinnati Reds – Moneyline (+105)
Among all the teams today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense is that of the Cincinnati Reds.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
TJ Friedl – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-105/-125)
TJ Friedl is projected to bat 8th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 60% 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.
The Cincinnati Reds have 3 hitters in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Michael Toglia, Eugenio Suarez, Matt McLain).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
