THE BAT X is forecasting 0.34 home runs for Nick Kurtz. Oddsmakers are implying 0.26 home runs, so I believe there is value here. If you take the over, you'd be projected to win 30% of the time resulting in a 35% ROI with expected value of $35.23 (based on a $100 wager). This play is good down to at least +270. Love THE BAT X?

THE BAT X is forecasting 14.83 pitching outs for Payton Tolle compared to 17.18 pitching outs implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value here.
