Edwin Arroyo (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-161)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Rockies host the Reds on July 18, all eyes should be on Edwin Arroyo when considering his total bases line. While the young infielder has shown flashes of potential, he’s been caught in a slump recently, with a mere .210 batting average over the last two weeks. Going against Rockies' starter Kyle Freeland, who has been surprisingly effective at home, Arroyo could find the going tough. Freeland's ability to keep the ball in the park and limit hard contact will play a significant role.
Additionally, Arroyo's struggles against left-handed pitching—coupled with the Rockies' improved defense—suggest that he might not find the gaps he needs to rack up those bases. With these factors at play, the under on Arroyo's total bases is not just a cautious bet; it feels like the right call given the current trends and matchups.
