THE BAT X is forecasting 1.29 hits runs and rbis for Nick Madrigal compared to 1.81 hits runs and rbis implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value here. If you take the under, you'd be projected to win 66% of the time, resulting in a 21% ROI. Based on a $100 wager, the expected value here would be $25.24. This play is good down to at least -150.
