The legs, one at a time
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Athletics host the Red Sox, keep a keen eye on Anthony Seigler's performance at the plate. While he's shown flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest he might struggle against Boston's lefty ace. Over the past month, Seigler has faced an uptick in strikeouts, particularly against pitchers who can mix speeds effectively, and that’s exactly what the Red Sox bring to the mound. With Boston’s pitching staff boasting a remarkable strikeout rate, they’ve consistently kept opposing hitters in check, limiting them to low averages. Seigler’s recent slump, paired with the Red Sox's ability to neutralize hitters, sets the stage for a challenging night. The expectations around him hitting over 1.5 are lofty, especially considering he’s failed to reach that mark in several recent games. Taking the "Under" here feels more than justified, given the context and momentum heading into this matchup.

As the Twins host the Royals, all eyes should be on Victor Caratini when it comes to walks. Caratini has been a solid contributor this season, but he’s not exactly known for drawing free passes. With an implied probability of 68% hanging over this matchup, the under on his walks feels like a smart play. The Royals’ pitching staff has been surprisingly effective at limiting walks lately, ranking among the league leaders in walk rate. Plus, Caratini’s plate discipline has waned, evident in his recent games where he’s drawn just one walk in his last ten appearances. The pressure of facing a competitive Twins lineup might further compel him to swing rather than wait for pitches outside the zone. Given these trends, betting on Caratini to stay under 0.5 walks seems like a compelling angle in this pivotal game.

As the Cincinnati Reds host the Pittsburgh Pirates, all eyes will be on Bryan Reynolds, but this matchup might not be kind to him. Reynolds has faced the Reds pitching staff with less success than one might expect, hitting just.240 against them this season. The Reds' bullpen has been solid, boasting a 3.20 ERA over the last month, which spells trouble for opposing hitters. Moreover, Reynolds has been in a bit of a slump, with only a handful of multi-hit games in July. The combination of the Reds’ effective pitching and Reynolds’ recent struggles suggests that he might find it tough to reach that 1.5 hits mark today. Given these factors, betting on the under feels justified, especially with the way the Reds are containing hitters lately. It’s a game where pitching prevails, and Reynolds' chances look slim.

As the Athletics host the Red Sox, all eyes will be on Masataka Yoshida, but the smart money leans toward him staying under 1.5 hits. Despite his impressive talent, Yoshida has been in a bit of a slump lately, struggling to find solid contact against right-handed pitchers. The A's starter, who has been effective at limiting hits this season, presents a challenging matchup. Furthermore, Yoshida’s recent numbers reflect a drop in his batting average and a rising strikeout rate, showing that he’s been more vulnerable at the plate. With Oakland’s pitching staff also sporting a decent strikeout rate against lefties, it’s tough to see him navigating this game without some bumps. Given the trends and the favorable conditions for the A’s pitcher, betting on Yoshida to stay under 1.5 hits feels like the right call.
Victor Caratini (SDP) Under 0.5 Doubles (-625)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Minnesota Twins host the Kansas City Royals on July 30, all eyes will be on Victor Caratini. Despite his solid contributions, the odds favor the "Under 0.5" for his doubles. Let's unpack why. Caratini has faced a slew of tough lefties recently, and against the Twins' stellar pitching staff, specifically a left-handed ace, he could struggle to find the gaps. The Royals have been inconsistent at the plate, and with their recent downturn against left-handed pitchers, the trend is not in Caratini's favor. Moreover, the Twins have shown a remarkable ability to limit extra-base hits, boasting one of the league's best defensive metrics. When you consider these factors, it’s tough to envision Caratini cracking a double in this matchup. With an implied probability hovering around 86%, the safe play here is to lean on the Under for his doubles.

As the Twins gear up to face the Royals, keep an eye on Ryan Kreidler's walk total—specifically, the under on 0.5 walks. Kreidler has been in a bit of a rut recently, struggling to find consistent plate discipline against right-handed pitching. With the Twins’ starter, a seasoned righty, on the mound, Kreidler’s chances of drawing a walk diminish significantly. Kansas City's offense has been less than stellar, ranking near the bottom in walk percentage this season. The pressure from an aggressive Twins pitching staff, coupled with Kreidler's low walk rate, suggests he may be swinging early in counts rather than waiting for favorable pitches. After all, with the Royals' lineup producing a meager number of walks lately, it’s hard to see Kreidler finding his way on base via the walk today. In this matchup, the under on Kreidler’s walks feels like the smart play.
Javier Assad (CHC) Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-167)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cardinals gear up to face the Cubs, all eyes will be on Javier Assad, but it might be wise to temper expectations for his strikeout total. Assad has been navigating through a challenging stretch against a Cardinals lineup that has shown remarkable discipline at the plate, ranking among the lowest in strikeouts faced per game. While Assad certainly has moments of brilliance, he’s averaged just over one strikeout per game in his recent outings. Coupled with the fact that the Cardinals' bats have been heating up, it's likely we’ll see them putting the ball in play more than fanning at it. With the prevailing stats and a little historical context—like the Cardinals’ recent surge against righties—betting the under on Assad’s strikeouts feels like a smart move here. Expect the Cardinals’ offense to keep him busy, limiting his K potential to well below that 3.5 mark.
That is the whole read. Every leg above is our own number against the price on the board at the time we wrote this, and the price can move before you get on. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
