THE BAT X is forecasting 0.52 hits for Miguel Amaya compared to 0.75 hits implied by the oddsmakers, so I believe there is value here. If you take the under, you'd be projected to win 59% of the time, resulting in a 29% ROI. Based on a $100 wager, the expected value here would be $29.39. This play is good down to at least -116.

Under 8+100

Join Discord for earlier access: https://discord.gg/HjKxYKdSUy Wrigley sits at 52 degrees with a 7 mph right-to-left wind, which is not the setup you want if you need 9 runs. Taillon brings a 1.15 WHIP over 34.2 innings, and Chicago has scored 5 or fewer in 9 of its last 10. Abbott's ERA is the scare, but Cincinnati has allowed 2 or fewer in 6 of its last 10, so the under case is not built on wishful thinking.
