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

Jo Adell Over 0.5 Total Bases

-170at Fanatics

Jo Adell has gone over 0.5 total bases in 60% of 159 games this season and 80% across the last ten. He faces Hagen Smith.

Adell hits the ball hard at the 81st percentile of qualified regulars.
He bats right-handed into a left-hander, a split he ranks in the 98th percentile on.

The case against

The price is the weak part of this one, and the form read has to carry it at -170.

Hagen Smith has allowed hard contact on 34.4% of balls in play, below the 42% league mark.

The last ten (80%) sits a long way from the season rate (60%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
