Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Betting on Jacob Young for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a sound choice considering his recent performance data. Over the last five games, Young's overall and away stolen base averages are both a low 0.2. When playing against the Chicago Cubs, Young has not managed to steal any bases. Additionally, Young's current hitting streak isn't impressive, standing at 2 overall and 1 away. His low stolen base averages indicate a lack of consistency in stealing bases, making it less likely he will steal a base in this game. Furthermore, the Cubs have an average of 0.2 successful catches against opposing players, adding another layer of difficulty for Young. Therefore, the statistical data suggests it's unlikely Young will steal a base during this game, making the Under 0.5 bet a logical choice.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Nico Hoerner for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is statistically sound. Hoerner's recent performance data indicates a low likelihood of stolen bases. His overall average for the last five games is zero, and his home average is also zero. Even when considering his performance against the Nationals, his stolen base average is only 0.4. Moreover, his current home hit streak is half of his overall hit streak, suggesting that he's less likely to get on base and have the opportunity to steal while playing at home. Also, the average caught stealing (Cs) rate at home is 0.2, further reducing the chances of a successful steal. Therefore, based on these performance metrics, betting under 0.5 stolen bases for Hoerner is a reasonable choice.

The bet on Pete Crow-Armstrong for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a solid choice based on his recent performance data. Crow-Armstrong's average stolen bases in the last five games, both overall and at home, is just 0.2, indicating that he rarely steals bases. Furthermore, his stolen base average against the Washington Nationals is 0, suggesting that he's unlikely to steal a base in this specific match-up. His current hit streak, both overall and at home, is also low, which further reduces the likelihood of him getting on base and having the opportunity to steal. The absence of caught stealing (Cs) instances in the last five games, both overall and at home, also supports the under bet, as it indicates that he's not taking risks on the field.
