Alex Bregman (HOU) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-175)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cubs prepare to host the Tigers, all eyes will be on Alex Bregman, but the smart money might be leaning towards the under on his total bases. Though Bregman packs a punch, he’s faced a tough stretch lately, hitting just .210 over the past week. Add to that the Cubs' impressive pitching depth—particularly at home, where they’ve limited opponents to a meager .228 batting average—making this a daunting task for the Astros’ star.
Recent trends show that Bregman has struggled against right-handers, and with Cubs' ace controlling the mound, expect a more challenging outing. The model predicts he’ll hover around 1.12 total bases, suggesting a significant chance he falls short of that 1.5 mark. With the Cubs’ stellar defense and Bregman’s current form, it feels like a smart play to take the under here.
