Dillon Dingler (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-250)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Tigers host the Orioles, all eyes should be on Dillon Dingler, whose performance at the plate suggests a challenging night ahead. Dingler has been struggling lately, managing just a handful of hits in recent outings, which aligns with his current batting average hovering around .220. Moreover, the Orioles’ pitching staff has been hitting their stride, with a solid ability to neutralize right-handed hitters, a category Dingler falls into. Considering that he’s likely to face a tough matchup against a Baltimore starter who boasts an impressive strikeout rate, the under on Dingler’s hits seems like the prudent play. With an implied probability of 71.4% suggesting that he might not even find his way on base twice, the odds favor a quieter night for Dingler. In a game where every at-bat counts, the recent trends and matchup dynamics make ‘Under 1.5’ a savvy bet.

Colt Keith (DET) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-175)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Tigers gear up to face the Orioles, Colt Keith finds himself in a tricky spot. While the young slugger has shown flashes of brilliance, he’s currently facing a Baltimore pitching staff that’s been surprisingly effective, with a collective ERA hovering around 3.90. The O's have a knack for keeping hitters off balance, especially when their ace is on the mound. Keith has been inconsistent at the plate lately, with his bat only making noise sporadically. In his last few games, he’s managed a meager average that suggests a struggle against tough right-handed pitchers. Given that he’s likely to face off against a formidable arm tonight, it’s reasonable to project that he’ll find it hard to string together those total bases. With the odds leaning towards the 'Under' on his total bases, this matchup could reinforce his recent trend of quiet performances. Keep an eye on this one; it feels like a classic under play.

Dylan Beavers (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-189)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orioles take on the Tigers, all eyes will be on Dylan Beavers, but it's worth considering the case for the "Under" on his total bases. Beavers is still finding his footing as a young player, and recent trends suggest he might struggle against the Tigers’ formidable pitching staff. Detroit’s starters have been sharp lately, boasting a solid strikeout rate and limiting hard contact—especially at home. Moreover, Beavers' recent form has been inconsistent, with several games where he’s failed to make solid contact against quality arms. With the Tigers’ bullpen also performing well, it’s likely he won’t find many opportunities to rack up extra bases. Given the odds and the likelihood that he manages under 1.5 total bases, it feels like a prudent move to lean towards the under in this matchup.
