The Cubs have gotten off to slow starts, plating a run in the first inning at the fourth-lowest rate in the majors (23.1%). The Mets score in the first inning at the sixth-lowest rate (25.6%). Tylor Megill is in the midst of a breakout season for the Mets, pitching to a 2.50 ERA through seven starts. He's been dominant in the first inning where he has yet to allow a run this year while posting an OBA of .087. The Cubs will start Brad Keller who usually works out of the bullpen. I'm not sure how long Keller will stay in the game but I trust him to be able to get through the first inning unscathed.

Soto is slashing .367/.474/.933 with a pair of doubles and five homers in eight games this month. The five-time Silver Slugger winner is in the top five percent in exit velocity and hard-hit rate which has led to an xSLG of .641 — the fourth-best number in the majors. He'll have the platoon advantage today against Cubs starter Brad Keller. Keller has primarily worked out of the bullpen the last two years and when he previously started he struggled, posting a 5.14 ERA in 57 starts from 2021 to 2023. Soto has a history of dominating Keller, going 4-6 at the plate with two dingers in his career.

It is scheduled that we will see a Huge Hitters Umpire (Lance Barksdale) in charge of the strike zone today.. In the majors, Citi Field's CF dimensions are the shallowest.. Tylor Megill's higher utilization percentage of his fastball this season (65.9 vs. 56.3% last year) is not ideal consider they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.. Tylor Megill has been lucky this year, notching a 2.50 ERA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 4.03 — a 1.53 difference.. Chicago Cubs batters collectively rank 7th- in the majors for power this year when judging by their 9.8% Barrel%.

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.
