№ 01Ian Seymour carries a 4.93 ERA across 38.3 innings this season, giving right-handed bats a starter they can square up.
№ 02Seymour has walked 19 batters in those 38.3 innings, a 4.5 BB/9 rate that sits in the bottom tier of the league for command.
№ 03His 4.48 FIP backs the ERA up, suggesting the contact damage against him is not a defensive or luck artifact.
№ 04Tropicana Field plays to a 1.04 home run factor for right-handed hitters this season, which helps the extra-base path to clearing 1.5.
№ 05The counter is real - Chaparro is hitting .172 with a 0.64 OPS across 29 at-bats and has just 2 hits in 10 at-bats over his last 10 games.
§ 01The analysis
This is a price play on a hittable starter more than a hot bat. Ian Seymour is running a 4.93 ERA over 38.3 innings, and the 4.48 FIP says that number is earned rather than unlucky. Command is the bigger problem - 19 walks in 38.3 innings works out to a 4.5 BB/9, which puts him at the bottom of the league for throwing strikes. That means hitters get into counts where they can drive the ball, and Tropicana Field's 1.04 home run factor for right-handed hitters adds a little extra to any contact Chaparro squares up. The case against is honest and it is why the number pays +195. Chaparro is hitting .172 with a 0.64 OPS on the season, he has 2 hits in his last 10 at-bats, and he carries just a 0.66 OPS in 34 plate appearances against left-handed pitching. Seymour has also held righties to a .165 average across 97 matchups. The bet is that a wild lefty in a friendly park gives one cold bat a single double or two-hit night.
§ 02The call
Take Chaparro Over 1.5 Total Bases at +195. The angle is the pitcher and the park, not the hitter. Seymour's 4.93 ERA, 4.48 FIP, and 4.5 BB/9 paint a starter who gets hit and gives free counts, and Tropicana's 1.04 right-handed home run factor rewards any contact that gets in the air. Chaparro's slash line is ugly and that is exactly why the price is plus money. At nearly 2-to-1, you only need this to hit occasionally for the number to play. Over 1.5 is the side.
