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, and these are separate from the card play above.

Angle 1

Pete Crow-Armstrong Over 0.5 Home Runs

+285at FanDuel

Pete Crow-Armstrong has gone over 0.5 home runs in 22% of 138 games this season and 40% across the last ten. He faces Robert Gasser.

  • Crow-Armstrong barrels the ball at the 89th percentile of qualified regulars.
  • Robert Gasser has allowed a home run on 3.64% of the batters he has faced, above the league rate of 3.5%.
  • He bats left-handed into a left-hander, a split he ranks in the 91st percentile on.

The case against

The price is worse than the market's own number. The books quoting this line imply a fair price around +380 and this is +285. The form read has to be right by more than that gap.

This game has rolled off the board. Open tonight's slate

Angle 2

Brice Turang Under 1.5 Hits

-235at betPARX

Brice Turang has gone under 1.5 hits in 76% of 127 games this season and 100% across the last ten. He faces Matthew Boyd.

  • Matthew Boyd has allowed hard contact on 38.2% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.
  • He bats left-handed into a left-hander, a split he ranks in the 17th percentile on.

The case against

The price is worse than the market's own number. The books quoting this line imply a fair price around -213 and this is -235, giving up roughly 3.0%. The form read has to be right by more than that gap.

Turang hits the ball hard at the 60th percentile of qualified regulars.

The last ten (100%) sits a long way from the season rate (76%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
