Michael Helman

There may be some value on Helman's hits prop.

THE BAT X is projecting him to record 0.69 hits, and oddsmakers are implying 0.85.

The model believes there is a 50% chance that he does not record a hit.

If you can get the under at +145 or better, that is great value, but this play is good down to +122.

Pick: Michael Helman Under 0.5 Hits (+122 or Better)

THE BAT X is forecasting 14.52 pitching outs for Vasquez, compared to 16.31 implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value on this prop.

If you take the Under, you'd be projected to win 68% of the time, resulting in a 34% ROI.

Based on a $100 wager, the expected value would be $35.23.

This play is good down to -163.

Pick: Randy Vasquez Under 16.5 Outs (-163 or Better)
