  • \n
    Matthew Liberatore – Over\/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+130\/-165)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    Over his previous 3 games started, Matthew Liberatore has suffered a big fall off in his fastball spin rate: from 2076 rpm over the whole season to 1999 rpm in recent games.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Jordan Walker – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130\/-170)<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jordan Walker’s true offensive skill to be a .328, implying that he has experienced some positive variance this year given the .115 difference between that figure and his actual .443 wOBA.<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    St. Louis Cardinals – 2H Moneyline<\/strong><\/div>\n
    The St. Louis Cardinals bullpen projects as the 6th-best in MLB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).<\/div>\n
    Explain:<\/strong> Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • \n
      Michael Burrows – Over\/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-115\/-115)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Compared to the average hurler, Mike Burrows has been given less leash than the typical pitcher since the start of last season, recording an -13.1 fewer adjusted pitches each start.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Isaac Paredes – Over\/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165\/+130)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Isaac Paredes has negatively regressed with his Barrel%; his 5.8% rate last year has decreased to 0% this season.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> 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.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n
      Jose Altuve – Over\/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120\/-150)<\/strong><\/div>\n
      Jose Altuve pulls a lot of his flyballs (43.1% \u2014 100th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting them towards MLB’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences today.<\/div>\n
      Explain:<\/strong> This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The Houston Astros have hit the 1st Five Innings (F5) Team Total Over in 7 of their last 9 games at home (+5.20 Units \/ 50% ROI)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
