Bryson Stott (PHI) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-182)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Phillies face the Mets on July 16, all eyes will be on Bryson Stott, but betting the under on his total bases feels more prudent. Stott has been a solid player, yet he’s recently struggled against left-handed pitching, and today he’ll be up against Mets’ ace David Peterson. Peterson has been particularly tough on lefties, holding them to a mere .220 average this season, which bodes well for the Mets’ chances of containing Stott.
Moreover, the Phillies have found themselves in a bit of a slump, scoring just 3.5 runs per game over their last week, and with Peterson on the mound, it’s hard to see them breaking out in a big way. The under on Stott’s total bases seems like a smart play, especially considering he's projected to land around 0.88 total bases. With the odds favoring a quiet night for the young infielder, betting the under offers a sound strategy.
