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 1

Heriberto Hernandez Over 0.5 Hits

Miami Marlins @ Chicago Cubs · first pitch 2:21 PM ET

-145at DraftKings

Heriberto Hernandez has gone over 0.5 hits in 58% of 126 games this season and 80% across the last ten. He faces Matthew Boyd.

Hernandez hits the ball hard at the 88th percentile of qualified regulars.
He bats right-handed into a left-hander, a split he ranks in the 95th percentile on.

The case against

The price is the weak part of this one, and the form read has to carry it at -145.

Matthew Boyd has allowed hard contact on 38.2% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.

The last ten (80%) sits a long way from the season rate (58%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
