• Jose Ramirez (CLE) Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)

Jose Ramirez (CLE) Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)

My first instinct here was to have Jose Ramirez as part of a hit parlay, but after seeing +100 on over 1.5 total bases, I had to jump on board. Ramirez was just named an All-Star and that's for good reason, batting .290 with 17 HR’s and 66 RBI’s is not an easy task. With a lot of switch hitters you'll notice they prefer one side of the plate, and Ramirez .310 AVG/.639 SLG vs RHP is much more impressive then the .241 AVG/.437 SLG vs LHP. Ramirez has also had some success in his career against Lance Lynn, currently batting .353 (6-17) with 3 HR’s and 1 Double. After a bit of a slower stretch, Jose now had 1 HR and 3 Doubles in his last 5 games, I’m expecting his momentum to carry over today.

Lance Lynn also just hasnt been the same guy yet this season, probably due to still just recently coming off the IL. In his 27 innings pitched, he currently boasts a 5.33 ERA and .327 OBA vs left handed batters. This is an important game for both of these teams in the standings, I'm expecting the stars to shine bright today. Ramirez is a great all around hitter, and should definitely be closer to -115/-120 for total bases. I'll be playing half a unit on his bases here, and probably including him in a hit parlay as well.
