Cody Bellinger (NA) Under 1.5 Doubles (-1250)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees gear up to face the Angels, Cody Bellinger’s performance at the plate comes into sharp focus. While Bellinger has shown flashes of brilliance, he’s been in a bit of a slump lately, and facing a tough Yankees pitching staff could compound the challenge. The Yankees’ rotation has been stingy, limiting opponents to a mere .230 batting average and a low slugging percentage.
Moreover, Bellinger has struggled with making solid contact against right-handed pitchers, which is significant considering he’ll likely be facing one of the Yankees’ best in this matchup. Add to that the Yankees' stellar defense, which excels in turning balls into outs, and it paints a picture of a tough night for Bellinger. Betting the under on 1.5 doubles seems prudent here, as the odds heavily favor a quiet evening for the Angels’ slugger against a formidable foe.
