Dillon Dingler (DET) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-147)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Detroit Tigers host the Kansas City Royals, all eyes will be on Dillon Dingler, but the smart money might be leaning towards him going under 1.5 total bases in this matchup. While Dingler has shown flashes of potential, he’s been inconsistent against right-handed pitching, and the Royals' starter has been solid lately, limiting hard contact with a respectable WHIP.
The Tigers' lineup has struggled to generate sustained offense, especially against quality arms, making Dingler’s path to accumulating total bases more challenging. With a model predicting him around 1 total base, the odds of him exceeding that mark seem slim, especially when you consider his recent performances. The Royals' bullpen, known for its ability to shut down opposing hitters late in games, adds another layer of difficulty for Dingler. Expect a tight game that could see him struggle to find his footing. Taking the under feels like the right play here.
