Alex Freeland (LAD) Under 0.5 Doubles (-1667)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Dodgers gear up to face the Rockies, all eyes will be on Alex Freeland, particularly in the doubles department. Freeland has shown flashes of potential, but he enters this matchup with a tough challenge ahead. The Rockies’ pitching staff has been surprisingly effective, especially on the road, where they’ve limited extra-base hits significantly.
Freeland, while talented, faces a Dodgers' lineup that thrives on disciplined pitching, making it tough for any batter to find gaps. They rank among the top teams in strikeout rate against lefties, and with their stellar infield defense, the chances for Freeland to notch a double look slim.
Given his recent struggles and the Rockies’ ability to contain hitters, betting on Freeland to stay under 0.5 doubles feels like a smart play—one that aligns beautifully with the current trends and team dynamics. This is a classic case where the matchup simply doesn't favor the batter.
