Jakob Marsee (MIA) Under 0.5 Hits (-123)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Marlins host the Phillies, all eyes will be on Jakob Marsee, but betting on him to record over 0.5 hits might not be the safest play. Marsee has struggled recently, posting a batting average under .200 in the last two weeks. When facing left-handed pitchers, like the Phillies' Aaron Nola, his performance dips even further; he’s hitting just .150 against southpaws this season. Nola has been sharp, boasting an impressive strikeout rate and limiting opponents to a .220 average. Given his ability to neutralize hitters and Marsee’s current slump, it’s tough to see him breaking through today. The Marlins have also been inconsistent offensively, particularly against quality pitching, which heightens the likelihood that Marsee will be held hitless. All signs point toward an under performance for him tonight, making the under on hits an intriguing bet.

Trea Turner (LAD) Under 1.5 Hits (-270)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Miami Marlins host the Philadelphia Phillies, all eyes will be on Trea Turner, but betting on him to go under 1.5 hits might be the smart play. Turner has faced a challenging stretch, hitting only .250 over his last 15 games, while the Marlins' pitching staff has found their groove, ranking among the league’s best in limiting hits. Furthermore, with Marlins’ ace Sandy Alcantara on the mound, who boasts a stellar WHIP, Turner could find himself facing a tough matchup. The Phillies have struggled against right-handed pitching, and with Alcantara's ability to induce weak contact, Turner may not get the opportunities he needs. Considering Turner’s recent dip and the Marlins’ solid defensive play, the under looks like the way to go in this matchup.

Bryson Stott (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-200)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Miami Marlins host the Philadelphia Phillies, Bryson Stott’s recent form suggests that taking the under on his total bases could be a savvy play. Stott has been struggling at the plate lately, batting just .220 over his last 15 games, which raises concerns about his ability to find gaps against a strong Marlins pitching staff. On the mound, Miami’s starter has been particularly effective at limiting hard contact, boasting a ground ball percentage that keeps hitters like Stott from elevating the ball. With the Marlins’ bullpen also showing signs of strength, Stott might find it tough to navigate through this lineup. Considering Stott’s recent slump and Miami’s formidable pitchers, expecting him to record more than 1.5 total bases feels optimistic. Betting the under here aligns perfectly with the current trends and suggests a likely low-output night for the young infielder.
