Pick	Price	Book	Why

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, and these are separate from the card play above.

Angle 1

Dominic Smith Under 0.5 Total Bases

-115at theScore Bet

Dominic Smith has gone under 0.5 total bases in 51% of 107 games this season and 80% across the last ten. He faces Tarik Skubal.

Smith hits the ball hard at only the 23rd percentile of qualified regulars.
Tarik Skubal has allowed hard contact on 34.8% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.
He bats left-handed into a left-hander, a split he ranks in the 8th percentile on.

The case against

The price is the weak part of this one, and the form read has to carry it at -115.

The last ten (80%) sits a long way from the season rate (51%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
