Brandon Nimmo (NYM) Under 1.5 Hits (-204)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Mariners prepare to face the Rangers, all eyes should be on Brandon Nimmo. While he’s been a valuable asset for Seattle, his recent form suggests that the under on his hits today could be a savvy play. Nimmo has struggled against right-handed pitching lately, which is unfortunate news since Texas sends out a tough righty in Nathan Eovaldi. The Rangers’ ace has been stifling hitters, boasting a 2.90 ERA and a strikeout rate that highlights his ability to keep batters off balance.
Moreover, Seattle’s offense has been inconsistent, and the pressure could lead to some swings and misses. The Mariners' lineup has hit under the 1.5 hits mark often this season, and with Nimmo likely to face strong pitching, it’s a tough hill to climb. Given these trends, betting on Nimmo to stay under 1.5 hits feels like a calculated move in a matchup that’s poised to be a low-scoring affair.
