+135O/U: 9
(-110/-110)-155

Andrew Abbott – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
Andrew Abbott’s slider usage has increased by 5.6% from last season to this one (13.9% to 19.5%) .
Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
Elly De La Cruz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
Elly De La Cruz has a 95th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37%) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards MLB’s 7th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
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.

Shane Drohan – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
Shane Drohan’s fastball spin rate over his last 3 games started (2373 rpm) has been a considerable dropoff from than his seasonal rate (2425 rpm).
Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his spin rate will likely see improved results.
Gary Sanchez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
Gary Sanchez is projected to hit 7th in the batting order in this matchup, which would be a downgrade from his 83% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order 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.
It may be best to expect worse results for the Milwaukee Brewers offense in the future, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 6th-luckiest offense in the game this year.
Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
