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 2

J.T. Realmuto Under 0.5 Total Bases

+110at theScore Bet

Freddy Peralta has allowed hard contact on 37.5% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.

The case against

At +110 the price does this pick no favours, so it stands or falls on the form read.

The last ten (80%) sits a long way from the season rate (48%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
