Bo Bichette (TOR) Under 1.5 Hits (-270)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Mets gear up to host the Royals, all eyes will be on Bo Bichette, but betting the under on his hits feels like the right play. Bichette has been battling some inconsistencies lately, and the Mets’ pitching staff has found its groove, boasting a 3.60 ERA over the last month. This is particularly concerning for a player like Bichette, who tends to struggle against right-handed pitchers.
The Mets’ starter, with his sharp slider and impressive strikeout rate, can be a tough matchup for any batter. Recent trends show that Bichette averages well below 1.5 hits against similar caliber pitchers. Plus, the Royals have been in a collective slump, which means fewer opportunities for Bichette to capitalize. Given the current form of both teams, expecting him to stay under 1.5 hits seems like a wise bet today.
