Bo Bichette

Career vs Gore: 5 PA, .000 AVG, 0.000 OPS — 0-for-5 lifetime with zero hits. Splits across 2024 (2 PA, 0.000 OPS) and 2025 (3 PA, 0.000 OPS) are consistently zeroed out. Manaea is a LHP and Bichette's vL OPS is .786 — fine season-wide, but the BvP signal against this specific pitcher is complete suppression. Under at +154 offers clear value against that documented career futility.

Bichette is 1-for-7 (.143 AVG, 0.411 OPS) in 8 career PA vs Schlittler — and 0-for-3 with a 0.000 OPS specifically in 2026. Schlittler is one of the most dominant starters in baseball this season: 2.01 ERA, 220 K in 178.2 IP, last 3 outings of 10 K, 9 K, and 8 K. Bichette's vR OPS this season is just 0.684, below average against right-handed pitching. The career matchup, 2026 sample, and Schlittler's elite stuff all point the same direction. At +148, this is the clearest edge on the board.

43 career PA against Gerrit Cole, .163 AVG, 0.442 OPS, 1 HR. This is a meaningful sample with a brutal result. The year-over-year breakdown confirms this isn't noise: 2023 (13 PA, 0.154 OPS) was equally ugly. Bichette's season line of .265/.316/.398 is respectable, but he has a documented, persistent inability to hit Cole. At +184, the market is paying nearly 2-to-1 on a batter who is historically a near-automatic out against this pitcher. Under 0.5 hits is the sharpest BvP edge on this slate.
