The legs, one at a time
Jacob Lopez (ATH) Under 8.5 Strikeouts (-588)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Athletics gear up to face the Red Sox, all eyes will be on Jacob Lopez, but I’m leaning towards the "Under" for his strikeouts at 8.5. While Lopez has shown flashes of brilliance this season, his recent outings reveal a concerning trend. He’s averaging just around two strikeouts per game against teams with potent lineups, and Boston’s lineup is undeniably fierce, featuring hitters adept at making contact. The Red Sox have been on a tear lately, showcasing discipline at the plate, which could frustrate Lopez’s strikeout ambitions. Moreover, with Oakland’s bullpen being one of the more reliable units, they might limit his innings and opportunities to rack up K’s. Given these dynamics, the odds favor a performance more in line with his recent averages rather than his peak performances. Betting on the "Under" feels right as he faces this disciplined Boston lineup.
Henry Bolte Under 1.5 Walks (-588)

As the Athletics gear up to face the Red Sox, all eyes will be on Henry Bolte and his propensity for drawing walks. However, the numbers paint a different picture. Bolte has been swinging aggressively lately, reflecting a trend where he’s recorded just a handful of walks in his last few outings. The Red Sox pitching staff, while not dominant, has shown a knack for limiting free passes, especially against aggressive hitters like Bolte. With the A's battling for every run, expect a more contact-driven approach at the plate. Bolte’s discipline has faltered, and with his latest performance metrics, including a surprising dip in walk rate, it’s reasonable to anticipate he’ll come in under 1.5 walks. This matchup favors a tight game, and with Bolte’s recent struggles to draw walks, betting the under here seems to align perfectly with the current trends.

As the Athletics host the Red Sox, all eyes will be on Andruw Monasterio, but betting on him to go over 2.5 singles feels risky. While he’s shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest he may struggle against the Red Sox’s formidable pitching staff. Boston’s rotation has consistently kept hitters off balance, boasting a top-tier strikeout rate that could challenge Monasterio's patience at the plate. Moreover, the A’s offense has been sputtering lately, averaging just a tick over three runs per game, which doesn’t bode well for Monasterio’s chances to rack up hits. With the pressure mounting and the stakes raised, it’s likely we see him underperform against a team that thrives on limiting damage. Given these factors, the under 2.5 singles for Monasterio seems like the prudent play.
That is the whole read. Every leg above is our own number against the price on the board at the time we wrote this, and the price can move before you get on. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
