New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays: Austin Wells Over 1.5 Batter - Strikeouts (+400)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Austin Wells has been making some noise lately, especially at Yankee Stadium. In his last ten games here, he's averaged nearly a full run and gets on base with walks, which shows he's not afraid to take a few pitches. With the Yankees winning four of their last six, the team's energy is high, and they'll be looking to capitalize on every opportunity.
The bet on Wells to strike out over 1.5 times feels like a smart move. Tampa Bay's pitchers have been solid, but they also walk more batters than most teams, which gives Wells a good chance to see a lot of pitches and possibly swing and miss. The biggest risk is that both teams are performing similarly, so it could go either way.
