The reads behind them

Form here is 60% of a player's last ten games and 40% of the season, weighed against what the books are charging once the vig is stripped out, and against what the matchup says. A prop only appears when the matchup backs it as well as the form does.

Angle 3

Bryson Stott Under 0.5 Hits

Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets · first pitch 7:16 PM ET

+143at DraftKings

Bryson Stott has gone under 0.5 hits in 37% of 146 games this season and 70% across the last ten. He faces Zac Thornton.

Zac Thornton has allowed hard contact on 41.4% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.
He bats left-handed into a left-hander, a split he ranks in the 30th percentile on.

The case against

Nothing about +143 helps here. The form read has to be right for this one to pay.

The last ten (70%) sits a long way from the season rate (37%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.

What this is, and what it is not
