THE BAT X is forecasting 16.50 pitching outs for Michael Wacha compared to 17.96 pitching outs implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value here. If you take the under, you'd be projected to win 55% of the time, resulting in a 33% ROI. Based on a $100 wager, the expected value here would be $32.70. This play is good down to at least -101.
