+140O/U: 9
(-110/-110)-160

Chris Paddack – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
Chris Paddack projects to strikeout 3.3 hitters today, as forecasted by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like ballpark, weather, umpire, and more.
Graham Pauley – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-135/+105)
Graham Pauley’s average exit velocity has dropped off this season; his 86.6-mph average last season has lowered to 81.5-mph.
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.
Miami Marlins bats as a group rank 22nd- in baseball for power since the start of last season when using their 8% Barrel%.
Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.

Bryce Elder – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Bryce Elder has used his secondary offerings 17.7% more often this year (63.3%) than he did last year (45.6%).
Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
Austin Riley – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
As it relates to his home runs, Austin Riley has had bad variance on his side since the start of last season. His 18.4 HR per 600 plate appearances rate has been a fair amount lower than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected HR/600 at 35.2.
Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
Dominic Smith – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-180/+140)
Dominic Smith hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.4% — 96th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the league’s 5th-shallowest CF fences today.
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.
