Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The under 0.5 bet for Jacob Young's stolen bases is a strong choice given his recent performance data. Young's overall and away averages for stolen bases in the last five games are both 0.2, suggesting he's not consistently stealing bases. Furthermore, when playing against the Cubs, his stolen base average drops to zero. Young's current hit streaks, both overall and away, are also low, indicating that he's not frequently getting on base, a necessary condition for stealing bases. Additionally, the Cubs' average caught stealing rate is 0.2, which could further deter Young from attempting to steal. This combination of factors makes it statistically unlikely for Young to steal a base in the upcoming game, making the under 0.5 bet a solid choice.
