Carlos Cortes (NA) Under 0.5 Hits (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Chicago White Sox take on the Athletics, all eyes will be on Carlos Cortes, but betting on him to get a hit might not be the best play. Cortes has struggled recently, managing just a hit in 30% of his last few games. When facing off against left-handed pitchers, his average dips significantly, making him a prime candidate for the under tonight. With the Athletics throwing a crafty southpaw on the mound, Cortes will likely find himself battling a tough matchup. The White Sox’s recent form hasn’t helped either, as they’ve struggled to generate consistent offensive production. Given the current trends and Cortes's historical performance against lefties, there’s a compelling case to back the “Under” on his hits. It’s about reading the signs, and tonight, they suggest a quiet outing for Cortes at the plate.

Jacob Wilson (ATH) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-172)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Chicago White Sox take on the Oakland Athletics, keep an eye on Jacob Wilson's total bases, particularly with the line set at 1.5. Wilson has struggled lately, hitting just .191 over his last 15 games, which suggests he's been having a tough time making solid contact. And when you consider the White Sox's recent uptick in pitching, with their starters showing improved command, it’s likely that Wilson will face a tough time at the plate. The Athletics’ lineup has also been inconsistent, averaging only 3.8 runs per game this month, not exactly paving the way for Wilson’s success. With a model predicting his total bases at just 0.89, the under feels like a solid play here. The odds seem to favor this trend, especially against a pitching staff that’s finding its groove. Expect a quiet night for Wilson, making the under an enticing bet.

Shea Langeliers (ATH) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-130)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

When the Chicago White Sox take on the Oakland Athletics, all eyes will be on Shea Langeliers. However, betting on Langeliers' total bases to go under 1.5 feels like the smart move here. Langeliers has shown flashes of potential, but he’s been inconsistent lately, batting just .230 against right-handed pitchers. The White Sox’s pitching staff, particularly their ace, has been dominant at home, limiting opponents to a mere .220 average over their last ten games. With the way they’ve been keeping the ball in the yard, Langeliers might find it tough to rack up those bases. Moreover, the A’s are struggling to generate offense in this matchup, averaging only 3.5 runs per game on the road. With recent trends pointing to the Sox’s pitchers silencing bats, backing the under on Langeliers seems like a savvy play. It’s all about timing, and right now, the odds are stacked against him.
