Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Red Sox host the Brewers, all eyes will be on Caleb Durbin, who’s been a mixed bag lately at the plate. While the young hitter has flashed potential, he’s facing a formidable challenge against Boston’s pitching staff, which has been particularly stingy at home. With a solid strikeout rate and an ability to limit hard contact, the Red Sox's arms are no picnic for any batter.
Durbin’s performance has been inconsistent, struggling against right-handed pitching, and going up against a starter like Nick Pivetta, who thrives in suppressing runs, isn’t ideal. The Brewers’ lineup also hasn’t exactly been prolific lately, making it tough for Durbin to find opportunities to rack up total bases. Given his recent form and the tough matchup, betting on him to stay under 1.5 total bases feels like a smart play in this one.
