Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Byron Buxton for Under 1.5 in the Batter Hits market is a solid choice based on his recent performance data. Buxton's last five overall hits average stands at 1.4, already below the line. This average dips to 1 when considering his last five away games and games against the Angels, suggesting he struggles to hit consistently when playing away and against this specific team. His plate appearance averages also decrease in these contexts, which could limit his opportunities to hit. Furthermore, his current hit streak is only 1 overall, and he currently has no hit streak in away games. These statistics collectively indicate that Buxton is less likely to exceed 1.5 hits in the upcoming game, making the Under 1.5 bet a statistically sound choice.
