Freddie Freeman (ATL) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-147)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Dodgers roll into New York, Freddie Freeman’s recent form raises a few eyebrows regarding his total bases. While he’s a formidable hitter, the Yankees’ pitching staff has found its groove lately, with a solid 3.60 ERA over the last month and a strikeout rate that recently climbed above 25%.
Freeman has faced some tough lefties recently, and with the Yankees likely throwing a southpaw, he may find himself in a challenging matchup. Plus, in a high-pressure environment like Yankee Stadium, the slight changes in his swing could cost him those extra bases. The Dodgers have also shown a tendency to spread the wealth, and with how their lineup is constructed, Freeman might not be the primary target for power hitting tonight.
Given these dynamics, betting on Freeman to stay under 1.5 total bases feels like the right call in this matchup.
