Evan Carter (NA) Under 1.5 Singles (-667)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Mariners host the Rangers on April 18, all eyes should be on Evan Carter's ability to find gaps in Seattle's formidable pitching staff. The young outfielder has shown flashes of brilliance but has struggled against quality arms recently, which plays right into the hands of Mariners starter, who has been a strikeout machine.
Carter's recent form hints at this matchup being a tough one for him; he’s only managed to rack up a single in a third of his last ten games against right-handed pitchers, and the Seattle bullpen has been particularly stingy at home.
With an underwhelming line of 1.5 singles and a model prediction suggesting he’ll barely scratch the surface, fading Carter on this number seems wise. The combination of Seattle’s strong pitching and Carter's current struggles paints a clear picture: expecting him to stay under the mark feels like the right play here.
