Daulton Varsho (TOR) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-179)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Padres host the Blue Jays, all eyes should be on Daulton Varsho's performance, particularly when it comes to total bases. Over the past month, Varsho has struggled to consistently find his rhythm at the plate, managing only a handful of extra-base hits. Facing a Padres pitching staff that has been quietly effective, especially with their top-tier starters, could spell trouble for him.
The Padres' bullpen has also been stellar, limiting opponents to a mere .220 batting average. Given Varsho’s recent dip in power metrics and the way San Diego’s arms are performing, it’s unlikely he’ll cross the 1.5 total bases mark today. With the game’s stakes high and Varsho needing to navigate a formidable lineup, betting on him to stay under could be a smart move. Look for him to struggle against this well-rounded pitching attack, making the 'Under' a compelling angle in this matchup.
