Cole Young (SEA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-192)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Dodgers host the Mariners, all eyes will be on Cole Young, but backing him to go over 1.5 total bases seems risky. While Young has shown potential, he’s facing a daunting challenge against a Dodgers pitching staff that has been lights out, especially at home. Their top-tier bullpen has a knack for shutting down opposing hitters, limiting extra-base hits.
Moreover, Young’s recent outings haven’t been prolific. He’s struggled against seasoned pitchers, particularly those with a high strikeout rate. The Dodgers’ starting pitcher for this matchup has been particularly effective at neutralizing left-handed hitters, and with the pressure of playing in Los Angeles, it could be a tough night for Young.
With the probability leaning toward the under and the Dodgers' ability to stifle hitters, it seems wise to bet on Cole Young staying under 1.5 total bases in this matchup.
