-150O/U: 8.5
(-110/-110)+125

Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (-150)
The Milwaukee Brewers infield defense profiles as the 3rd-best out of all the teams in action today.
Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
Garrett Mitchell – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-160/+125)
Garrett Mitchell has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 93.4-mph to 97.8-mph in the last two weeks’ worth of games.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-185)
Christian Yelich has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (42.4%) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the game’s 4th-deepest LF fences today.
Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Baltimore Orioles – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+120)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects that Cade Povich will give up an average of 2.62 earned runs in today’s outing.
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
Christian Encarnacion-Strand – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s true offensive skill to be a .311, providing some evidence that he has experienced some positive variance this year given the .048 deviation between that figure and his actual .359 wOBA.
Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
The Baltimore Orioles have 3 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Colton Cowser, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Coby Mayo).
Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
