K.Alcantara u0.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs+125
1.25u
There may be some value on Kevin Alcantara's hits runs and rbis prop. THE BAT X is projecting him to record 1.03 hits runs and rbis, and oddsmakers are implying 1.23. The model believes there is a 53% chance he records fewer than 1 hits runs and rbi. If you can get the under at +125 or better there is great value here. This play is good down to at least +107.
