Tommy White (NA) Under 3.5 Singles (-833)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Athletics gear up to host the Boston Red Sox on July 30, let's zero in on Tommy White’s singles production. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest he might struggle to hit the “over” on 3.5 singles today. Facing the A's pitching staff, which has quietly improved, especially at home, they’ve allowed just 7.8 hits per game in their last 10 outings. White is hitting at a respectable clip, but the Red Sox lineup has been prone to strikeouts against pitchers with a solid command, which could limit his chances. Plus, with the A's playing for pride in a tough season, they'll be looking to make a statement against a formidable opponent. Therefore, betting on White to stay under 3.5 singles seems like a savvy play, especially with the odds leaning heavily in our favor. Expect a tight contest with fewer opportunities for the Red Sox to pile on hits.

Henry Bolte (NA) Under 1.5 Stolen Bases (-1667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Athletics gear up to face the Red Sox, all eyes should be on Henry Bolte when it comes to stolen bases. While the young outfielder has shown flashes of speed, the odds favor a quiet night on the basepaths. Bolte's recent performances have been less about swiping bags and more focused on finding gaps in the outfield. Facing a Red Sox pitching staff that’s been adept at controlling the running game, with a pickoff rate that keeps runners on their toes, Bolte might find it hard to stretch his legs. Plus, the Athletics' lineup has been known to play conservatively, especially with their lead-off hitters often opting for contact over chaos on the bases. With the line set at 1.5, it’s a smart play to bet the under; the likelihood of Bolte stealing more than once seems slim against a disciplined Red Sox defense.

Caleb Durbin (BOS) Under 1.5 Stolen Bases (-2000)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Athletics gear up to face the Red Sox on Thursday, Caleb Durbin's stolen base potential is worth scrutinizing. While Durbin has shown flashes of speed, he’s not been a frequent threat on the base paths lately. The Red Sox have tightened their defense, allowing only a handful of successful steals over the past month, showcasing their improved catchers and alert infielders. Durbin's recent stats tell a story of caution rather than aggression; he hasn’t swiped more than one base in any of his last five games. With a game against a disciplined Boston pitching staff that excels at keeping runners in check, it's likely we’ll see him remain more conservative today. The under on Durbin’s stolen bases seems like a shrewd play, especially considering the recent trends and the matchup dynamics at play. Expect a tight game with fewer opportunities for stealing bags.
