Bo Bichette (TOR) Under 1.5 Hits (-263)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cubs host the Mets tonight, all eyes will be on Bo Bichette, but bettors might want to consider the "Under" for his hits total at 1.5. Bichette has been facing a tough stretch, hitting just .220 over the past week against right-handed pitching. The Cubs’ starter, with an impressive WHIP of 1.10, has been especially effective at neutralizing hitters in the first five innings, boasting a striking 3.00 ERA.
Moreover, the Mets' offense has cooled off recently, making it hard for any player to find consistent rhythm. When Bichette squared off against similarly tough pitchers this season, he's often struggled to string together hits, averaging just half a hit per game in such matchups. With the wind potentially favoring the pitchers at Wrigley, and Bichette's recent form in mind, expecting him to be held to one hit or fewer seems like the smart play here.
