- Ildemaro Vargas – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-205/+160)Ildemaro Vargas has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (57% of the time), but he is projected to bat 8th in the lineup in today’s 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.
