The bet on Seth Lugo for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed market is a strong choice based on his recent performance data. In his last five games, Lugo has allowed an average of 5.2 hits overall and 5 hits when playing at home. Even when considering his performance specifically against the Yankees, his hits allowed average remains above the line at 3.8. Lugo's current hit streaks further support this choice, with a five-game overall streak and a two-game home streak. His innings pitched and outs averages also suggest he is likely to allow more than 2.5 hits.
