Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on 'Chicago Cubs Over 0.5' is a solid choice based on the Cubs' recent offensive performance. Over their last five games, they have averaged 6.8 runs overall and 5.6 runs when playing away. Their batting average is also impressive, with 10.6 hits overall and 10.2 hits away. Although the Brewers have a strong defensive record, allowing an average of only 2.2 runs overall and 1 run at home, the Cubs' robust scoring average suggests they can overcome this. Furthermore, the Brewers' average pitch base on balls (Pit Bb) is 2.6 overall and 2.4 at home, indicating potential scoring opportunities for the Cubs. Given these statistics, the Cubs scoring over 0.5 runs is highly probable, making this bet a sound choice.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The betting rationale for Nico Hoerner to have under 0.5 stolen bases in the Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs game is based on his recent performance. Over the last five games, Hoerner has not recorded any stolen bases, whether playing overall, away, or against the Brewers. This consistent lack of stolen bases suggests that it's unlikely he will suddenly start stealing bases in this upcoming game. Furthermore, his average caught stealing (Cs) rate is 0.2, indicating that when he does attempt to steal bases, there's a chance he could be caught. Despite his impressive hit streaks, they do not necessarily translate into stolen bases. Therefore, based on these statistics, betting on Nico Hoerner for under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market seems a solid choice.

The under 0.5 stolen bases bet for Christian Yelich is a strong choice, based on his recent performance data. Yelich's average stolen bases for the last five overall games (0.4), as well as against this specific opponent (0.4), are both below the line of 0.5. This trend is even more pronounced in home games, where his stolen base average drops to 0.2. Furthermore, Yelich is not currently on a significant hit streak, with only one hit in his last game, which suggests he may not have as many opportunities to steal bases. Additionally, there have been no caught stealing (Cs) instances in the last five games, which indicates that Yelich is not taking many risks on the basepaths. All these factors point to a lower likelihood of stolen bases in the upcoming game.
