Ernie Clement (TOR) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-161)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Nationals host the Blue Jays, all eyes will be on Ernie Clement, but betting the under on his total bases seems to be a savvy call. Clement has shown glimpses of potential, yet he’s struggled to find consistent success at the plate, especially against right-handed pitching. The Jays' starter for this matchup has been effective in limiting opposing hitters, boasting a solid WHIP that keeps traffic off the bases.
Looking at Clement’s recent performance, he’s only managed to surpass 1.5 total bases in a handful of games this month, reflecting a troubling trend against strong pitching. Furthermore, with the Nationals' lineup facing a solid Toronto rotation, the opportunities for Clement to rack up those bases may be few and far between. Given these dynamics, a bet on the under feels like a prudent move in this matchup.
