Casey Schmitt (SFG) Under 1.5 Singles (-286)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Casey Schmitt for Under 1.5 in the Batter Singles market is a good choice due to his recent performance data. Schmitt's average number of singles in the last five games, both overall and at home, is 0.4, which is significantly lower than the betting line of 1.5. This trend is consistent even when facing the Cardinals, with an average of 0.4 singles. In addition, his overall batting average is only 0.8 and at home, it's 1. This indicates that even when he hits, he's not often hitting singles. Despite his current hit streaks, the data suggests that he is unlikely to hit more than 1.5 singles in the upcoming game, making the Under 1.5 bet a statistically sound choice.
Miguel Rojas (LAD) Under 1.5 Singles (-270)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Miguel Rojas for Under 1.5 in the Batter Singles market is driven by his recent hitting performance. Rojas' average for the last five games overall and away is below the line set at 1.5, with averages of 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. Additionally, his performance against the opponent, the Arizona Diamondbacks, also supports the under bet as he averages 1 hit per game in the last five matchups. Despite his current hit streaks, both overall and away, his average hits per game are still below the line. Therefore, based on Rojas' recent hitting averages both overall and away, as well as against the Diamondbacks, the statistical likelihood suggests that he will hit under 1.5 singles in the upcoming game.
Lars Nootbaar (STL) Under 1.5 Walks (-345)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Lars Nootbaar for Under 1.5 in the Batter Walks market is a statistically sound choice given his recent performance data. Over the last five games, Nootbaar has averaged 0.6 walks per game, both overall and specifically when playing away. This indicates a consistent performance that is well below the line of 1.5. Additionally, his plate appearance average is 4.2, suggesting he has limited opportunities to exceed this line. Even when considering his performance against this specific opponent, his walks average remains at 0.6. Despite his commendable hit streaks, these do not directly correlate with an increase in walks. Therefore, based on Nootbaar's consistent low walk average, the bet for Under 1.5 in the Batter Walks market is a statistically informed choice.
J.P. Crawford (SEA) Under 1.5 Singles (-286)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Betting on J.P. Crawford for Under 1.5 in the Batter Singles market is a strategic choice considering his recent performance statistics. Crawford's average for the last five overall single hits is 1.2, which is below the line set at 1.5. Moreover, his performance at home is even less promising with an average of only 0.4 singles in the last five home games. Additionally, his overall and home hit streaks are both currently at zero, indicating a recent lack of momentum. Although his batting average against the Rockies is 1.4, his home batting average is lower at 1.3. These statistics suggest that Crawford is more likely to hit under 1.5 singles in the upcoming game, making this a sensible bet.
Rafael Devers (BOS) Under 4.5 Total Bases (-345)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The rationale for betting on Rafael Devers to get under 4.5 total bases is based on his recent batting performance. Over the last five games, his overall and away batting averages are just 0.4 and 0.3 respectively, showing a lack of consistency in hitting. Even when he hits, his extra base hits are infrequent, with averages of 0.2 for doubles and 0 for triples and home runs in both overall and away games. His performance against the Giants is also not impressive, with only 0.8 hits per game and no home runs. Despite a commendable hit streak, the low number of bases per hit reduces the likelihood of Devers achieving more than 4.5 total bases in the upcoming game. These statistics suggest a higher probability for the 'Under' bet.
