Our algorithm has identified an edge on a Nathaniel Lowe player prop at BetMGM for Wednesday, expecting Lowe to be all over the Athletics' pitching.
Our models consider quantitative and qualitative factors for every angle of this game — including rest, matchups, stylistic differences, lingering injuries, history and more — to come up with a fair-value line for every MLB player prop on the market.
Nathaniel Lowe Player Prop Prediction, Projection
Lowe has been one of the more consistent players for the Rangers this season, especially lately as he has five hits in his last four games.
The left-handed first baseman has racked up 62 RBI on the season.
The model indicates Lowe's RBI total is too low. BetMGM has set his RBI total at 0.5, with +160 to the over and -210 to the under. That's the best price on the over in the market.
The algorithm expects Lowe to thrive in this environment.
The model predicts Lowe will have 0.7 RBI against the Athletics. That's good enough for over a 14% betting edge on the over.
Do keep in mind that these algorithms work best when you wager with the same unit size for each individual bet.
Pick: Nathaniel Lowe Over 0.5 RBI (+160)
