Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Diamondbacks prepare to face the Brewers on Sunday, all eyes should be on David Hamilton. While the young infielder has shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest he might struggle at the plate today. The Brewers are up against a formidable Diamondbacks pitching staff that has been tough on hitters, especially right-handers like Hamilton.
Over the last month, Arizona’s bullpen has been lights out, sporting an impressive strikeout rate and limiting hard contact. Hamilton’s own numbers reflect a dip in form, with only a handful of hits in his last dozen at-bats. Factor in that the D-Backs have been particularly stingy at home, and it’s hard to envision him collecting more than one hit in this matchup. Betting the under on Hamilton’s hits seems prudent, given the current dynamics on the field and his recent performance.
