Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Diamondbacks host the Brewers this Sunday, all eyes will be on Andrew Vaughn’s walks. While he’s certainly a talented hitter, recent trends suggest he won’t be drawing many free passes today. Vaughn has struggled against right-handed pitching, and with Brewers ace Corbin Burnes on the mound, he faces a tough challenge. Burnes is known for his command, boasting a strikeout-to-walk ratio that’s among the best in the league.
Moreover, Vaughn’s recent performance has seen him swing aggressively, resulting in fewer walks. With the Diamondbacks battling for a playoff spot, they’ll need Vaughn to be more of a contact hitter than a patient one in this crucial matchup. The combination of Burnes’ elite control and Vaughn’s recent approach points towards a day where he likely remains under that 1.5 walks threshold. It’s a compelling case for the ‘Under’ here.
