    Bases
    Picked: May 13 @ 11:56am

    Analysis

    I like the Hits, Runs and RBI prop bet more than the Total Bases most times but Ben Rice has been elite this season, leading MLB in SLG% and OPS. Kyle Bradish has actually been worse to righties thus far, but that won't stop me from backing Rice to have either an extra base hit or a couple of knocks. A piece of this angle is also betting Ben Rice to walk at +120 for 0.5u so we're covered if he "loses" an at bat. In their last meeting, Rice saw 17 pitches from Bradish and laid off some good curveballs in the dirt, working a couple three ball counts while pelting the sinker for a single at 106mph EV in his 3rd try.

    Picked: May 13 @ 11:27am

    Analysis

    Caesar’s. I know that Reid Detmers is a popular breakout candidate as his underlying metrics suggest that he’s pitched better than his 4.33 ERA would indicate (2.91 xERA). But the fact is, he throws a lot of pitches: 4.08 per plate appearance is 16th highest out of 132 qualifiers. And he’ll face a Guardians lineup that sees the most pitches per plate appearance in baseball, with eight players in today’s lineup above average in the metric. The Guards offense are no slouches against lefties either: seven hitters in the lineup have at least a .340 OBP and 131 wRC+ against lefties this season. Detmers is under this line in 3/4 on the road - today should make it 4/5. I’d bet this to under 16.5.

    Money Line
    Picked: May 13 @ 1:58pm

    Analysis

    I’m a fan of Shota Imanaga. However, the Cubs LHP has been nearly two runs worse on the road compared to at Wrigley, and here he faces a lineup with a .794 OPS vs. left-handers this month. So we’ll ride with JR Ritchie, who’s given up 2-3 runs each start, and a stellar bullpen behind him, at plus odds.

    Over/Under
    Picked: May 13 @ 12:30pm

    Analysis

    Both pitchers in this matchup have a combined 5.21 ERA and as both have succeeded with limiting hard contact and home runs to begin the season. Each team also has top bullpen in the majors so far, as runs may be hard to come by in this one. Jacob Misiorowski has allowed just two hits and no runs while striking out 19 this month, having a favorable matchup against a Padres team hitting .222 against righties on the year. In the last 18 meetings between these two, the game has gone under the total in 14 of those outings with one push involved.

    E. Mobley
    Over 3.5
    +127
    Assists
    Picked: May 12 @ 11:03pm

    Analysis

    DraftKings. I’ve written a lot about Evan Mobley’s role in this series, and why I see value over 3.5 assists at plus money. Rather than repeating myself, I will offer this stat: Mobley has at least 4 assists in 35/51 games (68%) when he passes the ball at least 40 times when playing alongside Donovan Mitchell. His low this playoffs for passes made is 44 (against the Raptors) and 49 in this series (average of 57). The role as a connector is corroborated, and I don’t see that stopping in Game 5. Passes to assists is an imperfect ratio, but there is some correlation. My math keeps saying this should be priced around -120, so I’ll gladly continue to ride the over at plus money.
