Jung Hoo Lee (SFG) Under 2.5 Total Bases (-455)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Diamondbacks lace up against the Giants, all eyes will be on Jung Hoo Lee, but the under on his total bases could be the smart play. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, Lee has been navigating a tough Giants pitching staff, which boasts a solid 3.80 ERA on the season and has been particularly stingy in away games. His recent outings reveal a struggle against left-handed pitching, and with the Giants likely starting a lefty, he might find himself in a bind. Moreover, the Diamondbacks have been inconsistent offensively, often relying on their power hitters to drive in runs. With Lee averaging just over one total base in his last several games, it’s clear he’s been pressing at the plate. Given these factors, betting the under on 2.5 total bases looks to be a prudent move as Lee faces a daunting challenge in today's matchup.

Drew Cavanaugh (NA) Under 2.5 Total Bases (-500)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Arizona Diamondbacks gear up to face the San Francisco Giants, all eyes should be on Drew Cavanaugh, but not for the reasons you might think. The expectation of him surpassing 2.5 total bases feels a bit ambitious given recent trends. Cavanaugh has struggled at the plate lately, hitting just .220 over his past week, and his ability to connect against the Giants’ pitching staff could very well be stifled. San Francisco's starting pitcher has shown a knack for keeping hitters off balance, boasting a solid strikeout rate that can easily frustrate even the best batters. With the Diamondbacks’ lineup also struggling to generate consistent runs, it’s quite plausible that Cavanaugh might find himself limited to just a single base hit, especially in crucial late-game situations where the Giants’ bullpen shines. Betting the under on 2.5 total bases for Cavanaugh could be the savvy play here.
