Edmundo Sosa (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-185)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Phillies face off against the Braves this Friday, all eyes will be on Edmundo Sosa. Despite flashes of brilliance, his recent form suggests a tough night ahead. Sosa’s bat has been inconsistent, with a batting average dipping below .220 in his last 10 games. Facing Braves starter Max Fried—who boasts a stingy 2.80 ERA and has held opponents to a .230 average this season—Sosa might find himself struggling to find gaps.
Moreover, the Braves’ defense has been nothing short of stellar, ranking in the top tier for fielding efficiency, making it even harder for hitters to rack up total bases. Add in the fact that Sosa's average is just 0.6 expected total bases according to the models, and it paints a clear picture: the under on 1.5 total bases feels like the right call as we anticipate a challenging evening for him at the plate.
