Austin Wells (NYY) Under 1.5 Walks (-435)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees host the Angels, keep an eye on Austin Wells and the walks market. Wells has been a promising young talent, but his plate discipline has yet to fully blossom. In his recent outings, he’s averaged just 0.16 walks per game, which is well below the 1.5 line set for this matchup.
Facing a tested pitcher like the Angels' ace, who boasts a solid strikeout rate and keeps hitters off balance, Wells may find it tough to work the count in his favor. The Yankees’ lineup has also shown a tendency to swing early this season, making it less likely for Wells to draw those elusive free passes. With an implied probability hovering around 81.3%, the smart money is on the "Under" here—expect Wells to put the ball in play rather than take his base.
