Game: (965) Boston Red Sox at (966) Baltimore Orioles Date/Time: Jul 19 2019 7:05 PM EDT Betting Line Provider: Pinnacle Play Rating: 4% Play: 1H Total Under 5.5 (-112)
4% play at 5.5 or higher 3% play at 5 No play below 5
DB's THOUGHTS:
The ball should travel very well tonight at Camden Yards, the #4 ranked park on ESPN's Park Factors list this season. The temp is expected to be in the upper 90s with a feels-like temp of over 100 degrees. So why am I playing the 1H Under?
First, one more thing I do not like... the Orioles bullpen. Complete garbage. 29th in xFIP, 27th in K/BB, and 26th in HR/FB. Straight. Trash. So, we take them out of the equation.
So, we're left with David Price versus the O's lineup, and John Means against the BoSox.
Price owns a very solid 3.97 xFIP on the road. But what I like even more is his low 11.3% HR/FB rate on the road. League average HR/FB rate is 15.3% at this point in 2019. I also like that Price is facing a Baltimore lineup that owns a weak 99 wRC+ versus lefties, and even more pathetic .22 BB/K against southpaws.
Means owns a very solid 0.99 WHIP at home. He also owns a very good 9% HR/FB rate at Camden Yards. I like that Means is coming off a poor outing in his last start in which he got roughed up for 6 runs (3 homers) in 6 innings versus Tampa Bay. Bounce-back time. Boston has faced Means three times already this season and has yet to score more than 2 runs against him.
PLAY 1H UNDER.

DB's THOUGHTS:
When you combine a low 1.97 K/BB rate, a high 1.48 WHIP, a low 37.1% GB%, and a high 17.2% HR/FB rate, you get Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin is facing an Arizona lineup with a good .42 BB/K (plate discipline = offensive success, usually).
Taylor Clarke owns a sky high 6.56 xFIP at home. He's facing a Milwaukee lineup averaging 5.2 runs in road night games versus righty starters. The Brewers also own a decent .40 BB/K against righties.
I don't like the Milwaukee bullpen's 25th ranked HR/FB rate. I also don't like the Arizona pen's #23 ranking in K/BB (makes it harder to pitch out of a jam), and its HR/FB isn't great either (#18).
PLAY OVER.
Game: (961) Miami Marlins at (962) Los Angeles Dodgers Date/Time: Jul 19 2019 10:10 PM EDT Betting Line Provider: William Hill Play Rating: 3% Play: 1H Total Under 4.0 (-100)
I do not trust a Marlins bullpen that ranks 28th in xFIP and 25th in K/BB, so I'm making this a 1H play.
Zac Gallen has the early advantage here, as these Dodgers hitters have never faced him. Gallen has allowed 2 runs or less in 3 of his 4 starts (allowed 3 runs in the other outing). I love his low 11.8& HR/FB rate, which drops to an better 9.1% on the road. That should hold up at Dodger Stadium.
Hyun-Jin Ryu has been a beast in 2019, especially in LA. At home, Ryu owns a 0.85 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, .209 OBPA, and an 8.1% HR/FB rate. Ryu gets to face a Miami team with a low 92 wRC+ against lefties, and a lousy .30 BB/K against southpaws.
I can't see this going Over if Gallen gives us 5 innings, which has has done in 3 of 4 starts this season.
keep changing your ip asshole, if you don't think I have enough to ban you at the mall keep trying me douche bag. get it through your fat head, nobody wants you here!
