Cedric Mullins (TBR) Under 1.5 Hits (-238)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As Cedric Mullins steps into the box against the Mariners, it’s worth noting that he’s been in a bit of a rut lately. Over his last ten games, he’s managed just a handful of hits, and the Mariners’ pitching staff has been on a tear, particularly their ace who excels at keeping hitters off balance.
Seattle's bullpen is also among the best in the league, boasting a stingy WHIP that’s made life tough for opposing hitters. Mullins typically thrives against fastballs, but the Rays’ lineup has struggled against elite pitchers, especially in crucial moments. With the Mariners playing at home, they’ll be energized to protect their turf, and the odds favor a low-scoring affair. Given Mullins’ recent struggles combined with the Mariners’ pitching prowess, backing the ‘Under 1.5’ hits seems wise as he likely finds it hard to connect today.
