Nick Martinez has averaged 85 pitches over seven starts and has thrown more than 90 just two times. It’s a road start where THE BAT is projecting 16.56 outs on 87 pitches. He is 4-3 to the Under on this prop this year and has yet to get 18 outs over his three road starts. This is a good Under down to even money. He is a low-K% pitcher who gets the majority of his outs in the air with a 33% groundball rate. That should help him stay out of double plays, which are Under-out killers. The Houston bats are starting to wake up, too.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Matt McLain in the 94th percentile when estimating his BABIP skill.. Matt McLain is penciled in 2nd in the batting order today.. The #6 venue in MLB for boosting home runs to righties, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Minute Maid Park.. In the past 14 days, Matt McLain's 20.7% rate of hitting balls at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) shows big improvement over his seasonal rate of 15.4%.. The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Matt McLain's true offensive ability to be a .332, providing some evidence that he has had some very poor luck this year given the .065 discrepancy between that mark and his actual .267 wOBA.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jose Altuve in the 89th percentile when it comes to his batting average talent..

Minute Maid Park ranks as the #6 stadium in the majors for lefty home runs, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT)..

Elly De La Cruz has seen a big gain in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 96.3-mph average to last year's 94-mph average.

The Houston Astros have been the 10th-unluckiest offense in MLB this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to perform better in the future. It is expected that we will see a Hitters Umpire (Dan Iassogna) behind the plate in this game.. The shallowest LF fences among all major league parks are found in Minute Maid Park.. Nick Martinez has a reverse platoon split and is stuck going up against 9 same-handed bats in today's matchup.. Given that groundball pitchers are hit hardest by flyball hitters, Nick Martinez (34.1% GB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged today with 3 FB hitters in Houston's projected offense.

About Units and “ROI”

Units are a standardized measurement used to determine the size of each of your bets relative to your bankroll. For example, if you have a bankroll of $200 and you bet 5% of your bankroll each time, each of your units is worth $10. A bettor with a $2000 bankroll who bets 5% per bet has units of $100. We use the number of units to standardize the amount the trend is up or down across different bet amounts.

ROI is the best indicator of success and measures how much you bet vs. how much you profited. Any positive ROI is good in sports betting with great long-term bettors sitting in the 5-7% range.
