Max Scherzer (TOR) Over 1.5 Hits Allowed (-1667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Max Scherzer for Over 1.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed market is a good choice based on his recent performance data. In his last five games, Scherzer has allowed an average of 4 hits overall, 5 hits when playing away, and 3 hits against the Guardians. This consistently exceeds the line of 1.5. Furthermore, his innings pitched (IP) averages also support this bet. His overall, away, and against opponent IP averages are all above 3, indicating that he typically stays on the mound long enough to potentially allow more than 1.5 hits. Finally, Scherzer's current hit streaks, 9 overall and 17 when playing away, show a pattern of allowing hits in consecutive games. This data-driven analysis suggests that it is statistically likely Scherzer will allow more than 1.5 hits in the upcoming game.

George Springer (TOR) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-1250)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on George Springer for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a solid choice based on his recent performance. Springer's last five games demonstrate a low stolen base average, both overall (0.4) and away (0.4). This trend is even more pronounced when playing against the Cleveland Guardians, where his stolen base average drops to zero. Furthermore, his current hit streak is only at 1, suggesting that he is not in a particularly high-performing phase. There is also no notable threat from the opposition or location, with the average 'caught stealing' rates sitting at zero. Therefore, the statistics indicate that it is highly unlikely for Springer to steal a base in this game, making the Under 0.5 bet a statistically sound choice.

Max Scherzer (TOR) Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-588)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Max Scherzer for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is a sound choice given his consistent performance data. Scherzer's last five games show an average of 3.6 strikeouts overall, and this increases to 4.6 when considering only away games. This suggests Scherzer performs better in away games, which is the case for the upcoming game against the Cleveland Guardians. Furthermore, when facing the Guardians, Scherzer has averaged 5 strikeouts over the last five games, well above the line of 2.5. His innings pitched and outs averages also support this, as they indicate he stays in the game long enough to achieve higher strikeouts. Despite a current hit streak of 0, his historical performance indicates a strong likelihood of achieving over 2.5 strikeouts in the upcoming game.
