St. Louis Cardinals vs Pittsburgh Pirates: Alec Burleson Under 0.5 Batter - Doubles (-476)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Alec Burleson has been hitting well lately, but he's also facing a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates have been pretty solid against left-handed pitchers, and Burleson's hitting has been a bit inconsistent. He's averaging one hit per game over his last three games, but that's not enough to bank on him getting a double today.
The Cardinals have struggled at home this season, winning just a few more than they've lost. With both teams sitting around the same number of wins lately, it's hard to feel confident about Burleson getting a double. The risk here is that the Pirates' pitching could keep him from getting that hit he needs, making this pick a bit of a gamble.
