Noelvi Marte To Record 2+ Total Bases (+100)

Noelvi Marte sports a .242 ISO, .303 BA, .545 SLG, and 12.5% barrel rate across the past 30 days. He notched at least two bases in 12 out of 25 games in this span and is a good bet to do so tonight at even money odds.

Marte and the Cincinnati Reds will host Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays this evening. Berrios owns a 3.95 ERA but has less-than-desirable ERA indicators, including a 4.35 xFIP and 4.58 expected ERA. The northpaw shows reverse splits, as he coughs up a .225 ISO, .476 SLG, 43.0% fly-ball rate, and 1.79 home runs per nine innings to right-handed hitters. He also permits 1.98 home runs per nine innings to righties on the road.

Marte has reverse splits, too. He touts a .293 BA, .569 SLG, 17.8% strikeout rate, and 3.1% walk rate versus right-handed pitchers. To add, he bats leadoff for the Reds and is averaging 4.4 at-bats across his last eight games. With a friendly matchup and spot in the batting order, Marte is my favorite bet to record two bases on Tuesday.

Jurickson Profar To Record A Run (+125)

Batting leadoff for the Atlanta Braves has allowed Jurickson Profar to log 27 runs over his last 28 games. At +125 odds, I see value in backing Profar to score in his matchup against Shota Imanaga and the Chicago Cubs.

Across the past 30 days, Profar has been fantastic with a .428 wOBA -- good for the sixth-highest in MLB (minimum 100 PA). On the season, the switch-hitter sports a .290 BA and only a 14.7% strikeout rate versus left-handed pitchers, so we should like his path to reach base against Imanaga.

Imanaga's 3.08 ERA is due to regress based on a 3.63 xERA and 4.52 xFIP. He's coughed up 1.87 home runs per nine innings (sixth-most in MLB) since July and has allowed 10 bombs across his last seven starts. On the year, the fly-ball pitcher cedes a 56.2% fly-ball rate and 1.83 home runs per nine innings to right-handed hitters. All to say, we can look for one of Atlanta's hitters to come through with an extra-base hit past Profar in the leadoff spot, which puts me on Profar to score a run at +125 odds in this one.

Luis Severino Over 3.5 Strikeouts (+110)

Luis Severino enters the night with a 4.82 ERA and 17.2% strikeout rate and will make his first start since August 5th after being activated off the IL due to a strained left oblique.

At face value, he's not someone we want to support in the K department. However, I want to go there tonight.

When tossing away from the hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park, Severino navigates a 3.17 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Moreover, he held a 2.93 ERA, 3.53 SIERA, 3.65 xFIP, and a blazing 26.3% strikeout rate across five starts before hitting the IL.

In my eyes, a date with the St. Louis Cardinals is the cherry on top. St. Louis' active roster sports a bleh .301 wOBA (second-worst in MLB), .372 SLG (second-worst), and 93 wRC+ (fourth-worst) versus right-handed pitchers. They strike out at a 24.7% rate (second-highest) against this handedness and struggle with a massive 26.9% K% versus righties across the past 30 days.

We need to taper expectations considering this will be Severino's first start in nearly a month, but A's manager Mark Kotsay plans on letting Severino throw in the 75-pitch range and then go from there. Add in a soft matchup and low expectations from the market, and we can look to target the over at +110 odds.
