The reads behind them

Form here is 60% of a player's last ten games and 40% of the season, weighed against what the books are charging once the vig is stripped out, and against what the matchup says. A prop only appears when the matchup backs it as well as the form does.

Angle 1

Jacob Young Under 1.5 H+R+RBI

Miami Marlins @ Washington Nationals · first pitch 4:06 PM ET

-150at theScore Bet

Jacob Young has gone under 1.5 h+r+rbi in 55% of 111 games this season and 80% across the last ten. He faces Sandy Alcantara.

  • Young hits the ball hard at only the 16th percentile of qualified regulars.
  • Sandy Alcantara has allowed hard contact on 35.3% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.
  • Sandy Alcantara carries a 3.38 ERA and a .240 average against over 183.2 innings.

The case against

The price is worse than the market's own number. The books quoting this line imply a fair price around -134 and this is -150, giving up roughly 4.6%. The form read has to be right by more than that gap.

The last ten (80%) sits a long way from the season rate (55%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
