(-110/-110)-110

Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (-110)
The Chicago Cubs infield defense projects as the 2nd-strongest out of every team on the slate today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
San Francisco’s 3rd-worst outfield defense of all teams on the slate today creates a favorable matchup for Pete Crow-Armstrong, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
Explain: This player’s skill set matches up well with the opposing team’s defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
Chicago Cubs bats jointly place 7th- in Major League Baseball for power this year when using their 31.1% rate of hitting their flyballs and line drives 100+ mph.
Explain: To hit a home run, the ball must be hit in the air and hit hard enough to clear the fence. This metric is a strong indicator of this kind of power.

Landen Roupp – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
Given that groundball pitchers are hit hardest by flyball hitters, Landen Roupp (46.9% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged today with 2 FB hitters in Chicago’s projected batting order.
Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
Matt Chapman – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-170/+130)
Matt Chapman is projected to bat 7th on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be a downgrade from his 68% 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.
Rafael Devers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Rafael Devers in the 93rd percentile when assessing his overall offensive talent.
