Samuel Basallo Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-131)

Randy Vasquez has allowed a .276 average, .359 xwOBA, and ranks in the 19th percentile in xSLG against left-handed bats.

That sets up well for Samuel Basallo. The talented lefty has hit .270 against right-handed pitching and is a 95th percentile hitter in xSLG.

He has feasted in similar matchups, recording multiple H+R+R in 13 of 17 games in which he faced a right-handed starter ranking 50th percentile or worse in batting average and xwOBA.

Isolating games with a total of 9.0 or higher, he cleared in all eight. Play to -145.

  • Time: 4:05 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: SDPA, MASN

CJ Abrams Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-134)

CJ Abrams is enjoying a ton of success against right-handed pitching. He has blended contact with power, hitting .294 while ranking in the 82nd percentile in barrel rate and 84th percentile in xSLG.

He has played 21 games against righty starters, ranking 60th percentile or worse in batting average, xwOBA, and WHIP allowed to lefties. He cleared 1.5 H+R+R in 71.4% of them while producing 2.7 per game.

The total sits at 9.0, so plenty of offense is expected. Back Abrams to Luis Castillo. Betable to -145.

  • Time: 4:05 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: SEAM, NATS

Mike Trout Over 0.5 walks (+135)

Mike Trout is one of the most disciplined hitters in the game. He has a great feel for the zone and will take what is given to him, which results in a lot of free passes.

He has walked a remarkable 20.3% of the time against right-handed pitching, and Griffin Jax has struggled with his control, walking 11.9% of right-handed batters. 

Isolating matchups against starters ranking 50th percentile or worse in walk rate vs. righties, Trout has walked at least once in 21 of 28 games.

There’s plenty of value with this line. Play to -125.
