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

Steven Kwan Under 1.5 Total Bases

-197at Caesars

Steven Kwan has gone under 1.5 total bases in 65% of 155 games this season and 80% across the last ten. He faces Drew Rasmussen.

  • Kwan hits the ball hard at only the 0th percentile of qualified regulars.
  • Drew Rasmussen has allowed hard contact on 34.3% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.
  • He bats left-handed into a right-hander, a split he ranks in the 7th percentile on.

The case against

The price is the weak part of this one, and the form read has to carry it at -197.

Angle 2

Liam Hicks Under 0.5 Hits

+146at BetOnline

Liam Hicks has gone under 0.5 hits in 39% of 145 games this season and 60% across the last ten. He faces Foster Griffin.

  • Hicks hits the ball hard at only the 8th percentile of qualified regulars.
  • Foster Griffin has allowed hard contact on 37.0% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.
  • He bats left-handed into a left-hander, a split he ranks in the 19th percentile on.

The case against

+146 is not what makes this one risky. The form read is, and it still has to hold.

The last ten (60%) sits a long way from the season rate (39%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.

What this is, and what it is not

Each prop above is frozen with the exact price and book shown from the moment it was published. These angles are not on that graded record; the card and the boosts are.
