u8.5 (-110)
Oracle Park is a pitcher-friendly stadium, and I don’t expect Nola to allow many runs here. Plus, even when the Giants get to the Philadelphia bullpen, that doesn’t mean they’re going to magically wake up. San Francisco is struggling at the dish, ranking 29th in runs scored, 29th in OBP, and 28th in slugging.
PHI (-135)
Philly lost 6-0 on Tuesday, as Robbie Ray dominated them. However, today, they’re up against the struggling Tyler Mahle, who has a 7.00 ERA so far. The Phillies’ lineup is also hitting .308 against Mahle across 52 at-bats. Mahle allowed five earned runs last time out to the Mets. Nola, meanwhile, has compiled a 3.18 ERA across two starts, and he’s held this San Francisco lineup to a .178 average across 73 at-bats.

Ozzie Albies o0.5 Total Home Runs (+570)
I’m a loyal guy, so when Ozzie Albies goes yard and cashes a +520 dinger yesterday and is fifty points longer today in a good hitting setting, I’m running it back. The switch-hitter always gets a bump in the order vs. lefties and will hit out of the three hole in the Atlanta Braves lineup. His slugging vs. lefties is 100 points better since 2024. He is facing Reid Detmers, who has been overworked early, throwing 199 pitches in two starts and coming off a 104-pitch outing. He hasn’t thrown more than 88 innings since 2023. Albies has also proven he can get to a Los Angeles Angels bullpen that has been punching above its weight early, with some metrics indicating some runs are coming. Ultimately, with low temperatures across the board and some getaway spots, this +570 price in one of the best-hitting settings stands out as a fair +500.
