The host flagged Joey Ortiz as a sneaky upside play despite batting ninth. Ortiz has three homers in just five career at-bats off Andrew Heaney—two of them came in the April blow-up—and brings a .333/.364/.708 line over his last seven contests (eight hits, seven RBI, five runs). He is slashing .264 versus southpaws this year, further exposing Heaney’s lefty weakness. Outlier projects a 79 % chance Ortiz records a hit (8-of-10), 53 % for 2+ total bases (7-of-9) and 62 % for 2+ hits-runs-RBI (6-of-9). The home-run prop is sitting at +700. Jordan advised using Ortiz as a value total-bases leg in parlays and taking a small stab at the long-ball price given the bizarre but undeniable BvP history.

Sean Paul suggested betting on Joey Ortiz to record a hit as part of his recommended Brewers vs Yankees same-game parlay. Ortiz faces Yankees' lefty starter Max Fried. Paul highlighted his appreciation for Ortiz's consistent ability to put the bat on the ball, emphasizing a favorable individual matchup against a left-handed pitcher. He views Ortiz as a reliable component in building the multi-leg parlay given these circumstances.
