Chase Meidroth (NA) Under 0.5 Doubles (-625)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Chicago White Sox face off against the Toronto Blue Jays, all eyes should be on the rookie Chase Meidroth. While he’s shown flashes of promise, the numbers suggest he might struggle to find extra bases today. The White Sox’s pitching staff has been particularly tough on left-handed hitters, boasting a solid ground ball rate that keeps balls from sailing into the gap.
Moreover, Meidroth has a low doubles rate early in his career, and with the chilly April air, the ball won’t be carrying as well at Guaranteed Rate Field. The advanced metrics point to a mere 8% chance of him hitting a double today, which aligns with the model predicting an underwhelming performance in this matchup. Given the circumstances, betting on Meidroth to stay under 0.5 doubles feels like a savvy play.
