Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Padres face off against the Diamondbacks, all eyes will be on Fernando Tatis Jr. His electric style and power at the plate often set expectations sky-high, but let’s pump the brakes on the doubles train for this matchup. Tatis has been a bit inconsistent lately, producing fewer extra-base hits, especially against right-handed pitchers, which the Diamondbacks will roll out.
The Diamondbacks’ pitcher, who boasts a solid ground ball rate, is adept at keeping the ball in the park and minimizing extra-base hits. With Tatis swinging for the fences more often than not, those line drives that could lead to doubles could easily turn into flyouts in this contest. Given the recent trends and Tatis’ struggles against similar pitching, taking the under on 1.5 doubles feels like a savvy play—especially with the numbers backing it up.
