Luis Arraez has been consistent in his recent games, with an average of 1 hit in his last 5 overall games and 1.2 hits in his last 5 away games.

His plate appearances (PA) average is also consistently at 4, which means he gets a good number of opportunities to hit. Although his average against the Dodgers is lower (0.4), it is still close to the bet line. Therefore, based on his recent performance and opportunities at bat, betting on Luis Arraez for Over 0.5 in the Batter Hits Alternate market is a statistically sound choice.

The under 1.5 bet for Freddie Freeman in the Batter Hits market is statistically justified. Freeman's recent performance data show a trend of hitting below the line. His last five overall hits average is 0.8, significantly below the line of 1.5. Even at home, his hit average is 1.4, still under the line. His performance against the Padres is also below the line, with an average of 1 hit. Despite his current hit streaks, both overall and at home, his average hits per game have not exceeded the line. Hence, the data suggests that Freeman is likely to hit under 1.5 in the upcoming game against the Padres, making the bet a sensible choice.
