+145O/U: 9
(+100/-120)-165

Chris Paddack – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
Chris Paddack projects to strikeout 3.4 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.
Owen Caissie – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+205/-280)
Owen Caissie has been hot lately, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.6-mph to 93.9-mph in the last week.
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 – 2H Moneyline
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Miami Marlins’ bullpen profiles as the 8th-worst among all the teams in baseball.
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Bryce Elder – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
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/-145)
As it relates to his home runs, Austin Riley has had bad variance on his side since the start of last season. His 18.5 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 RBIs (+195/-260)
Dominic Smith hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.3% — 95th 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.
