Yordan Alvarez (+320)
That could trigger a power surge for the Houston Astros, and Alvarez has had the upper hand against Anderson, with a 7-for-19 career record in this head-to-head matchup, including three home runs. The Houston danger man has been making good contact lately, with seven hits in his last six contests, and his average exit velocity (94.7 MPH) ranks in the top 15 in the league. Alvarez has crushed 5+ dingers in April in each of the last three seasons, so it’s a little surprising to see just one long ball to his name so far. But we saw four homers at hitter-friendly Minute Maid Park in last night’s clash as the Astros racked up 16 hits on the way to a 14-3 victory, and I see Alvarez grabbing a share of the headlines here.

Yordan Alvarez Over 1.5 total bases (+100)
Yordan Alvarez is off to a poor start this season, slashing .222/.333/.311 with just 14 total bases through 13 games. That said, Alvarez is a proven slugger who was named an All-Star in each of the past three years and had a slugging percentage of .587 over that span. This season, Alvarez is in the top fifth percentile in average exit velocity and the top 15th percentile in barrel rate which suggests positive regression in the future. Today he faces the Angels and lefty Tyler Anderson who has a 4.50 ERA with a 5.27 xERA through two starts. Alvarez has strong reverse platoon splits and a history of dominating Anderson, going 7-19 at the plate with three homers and two doubles against him. The Halos also have a terrible bullpen behind Anderson with their relievers combining for an MLB-worst 6.75 ERA.

Units are a standardized measurement used to determine the size of each of your bets relative to your bankroll. For example, if you have a bankroll of $200 and you bet 5% of your bankroll each time, each of your units is worth $10. A bettor with a $2000 bankroll who bets 5% per bet has units of $100. We use the number of units to standardize the amount the trend is up or down across different bet amounts.
ROI is the best indicator of success and measures how much you bet vs. how much you profited. Any positive ROI is good in sports betting with great long-term bettors sitting in the 5-7% range.
