Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As we gear up for Friday's showdown between the Chicago Cubs and New York Mets, keep an eye on Carson Kelly’s bat. The Cubs have been struggling to contain opposing hitters lately, allowing a solid .270 batting average over the past couple of weeks. This trend has made it increasingly easy for players like Kelly to find the gaps.
Recently, Kelly has been riding a hot streak, getting consistent at-bats and capitalizing on pitchers’ mistakes. Notably, he’s faced off against lefties effectively, and with the Mets’ southpaw on the mound, the matchup plays right into his favor. Given that the implied probability of him recording at least one hit stands at a promising 67.6%, the ‘Over 0.5 hits’ line feels like a smart play. Expect Kelly to capitalize on this favorable situation and drive a ball into the outfield, helping you cash in on this opportunity.
