R.Vasquez u2.5 BB-150

0.75u

Vasquez is coming off a 4-walk performance but I’m viewing this as a bounce-back spot. He made huge leaps last year in control, finishing with a 6.7% BB% which meant a 2.6 BB/9 ratio. Most season-long projection systems have Vazquez closer to a 3.2 BB/9 pitcher this season, which means if he pitched 6 innings you’d expect around 2.2 walks. This isn’t a great matchup as the Cubs have been hot and were a top-10 team in walk rate last season, but I have this projected closer to 2.2 walks and am trusting the longer sample of him as a pitcher.

Under 7-125

0.25u

Bet to -130; split with Under 6.5 (bigger edge on plus than juiced 7)

Under 6.5+110

0.28u

Bet to -110; bigger edge at plus money compared to 7 (-125)

CHC -158
