Dalton Rushing (NA) Under 1.5 Doubles (-3333)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Dodgers host the Mets, all eyes will be on Dalton Rushing, but betting on him to hit over 1.5 doubles feels like a steep hill to climb. Rushing’s recent form shows he’s been more about consistent contact than extra-base power. With New York's pitching staff tightening up, they’ve limited opponents to a mere .336 slugging percentage over the last two weeks. This isn’t just a statistical anomaly; it’s a trend that reflects a focused approach on both sides of the mound.
The Dodgers, while explosive, have seen Rushing’s opportunities dwindle against left-handed pitchers, with the Mets likely throwing a lefty in this matchup. Given his current trajectory and the stinginess of the Mets’ arms, expecting Rushing to find the gaps for two doubles feels overly ambitious. Betting the under here seems like a smart, calculated move in a game where every hit will be scrutinized.
