Paul Goldschmidt (STL) Under 1.5 Hits (-233)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Chicago White Sox gear up to host the New York Yankees, all eyes will be on Paul Goldschmidt, a player known for his prowess at the plate. However, recent trends suggest that taking the under on his hits may be the wiser play. Goldschmidt has been facing a tough stretch, managing just a hit in several of his last outings, and the Yankees’ pitching staff is no walk in the park. With a rotation that boasts an impressive strikeout rate, they have stifled even the most seasoned hitters, holding opponents to under 1.5 hits in key matchups. Moreover, the White Sox lineup has struggled against right-handed pitchers this season. If Goldschmidt finds himself facing a pitcher like Gerrit Cole, who has been dominant and consistently keeping hitters off-balance, it’s tough to envision him breaking through for multiple hits. The trends lean heavily towards the under, making this a calculated bet as the action unfolds at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Sam Antonacci (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-204)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Chicago White Sox host the New York Yankees, all eyes will be on Sam Antonacci, but the smart play might be to bet the under on his total bases. Antonacci has had a challenging stretch, with only a handful of multi-base games lately, struggling against left-handed pitching. The Yankees' southpaw starter has been nothing short of dominant, holding opponents to a meager .210 batting average. Moreover, the White Sox have faced a recent slump, scoring under four runs in several outings, limiting Antonacci’s opportunities. With the Yankees’ bullpen excelling in late-game situations, it’s tough to envision Antonacci finding gaps consistently tonight. Given the combination of Antonacci's recent form and the stiff competition he faces, betting under 1.5 total bases feels like the prudent move. Trusting the trends here could pay off as the game unfolds.

Anthony Volpe (NYY) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-189)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Yankees roll into Chicago, all eyes will be on Anthony Volpe, who’s been a bright spot this season. However, facing a White Sox lineup that’s been tough on right-handed hitters like him makes this matchup intriguing. Volpe's recent form has dipped, and he’s had trouble finding gaps against pitchers with strong strikeout rates. With the Sox’s starter boasting a solid whiff percentage, it’s likely we see Volpe struggle to get on base. Adding to this, the Yankees have been inconsistent at the plate lately, often leaving runners stranded. With Volpe’s recent underwhelming stretch and the Sox’s willingness to exploit matchups, banking on him to stay under 1.5 total bases feels like a smart play. In a game where scoring might be at a premium, this bet captures the essence of a pitcher’s duel that could stifle even the most promising hitters.
