Geraldo Perdomo (NA) Under 1.5 Walks (-526)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Diamondbacks gear up to host the Cardinals, all eyes will be on Geraldo Perdomo, especially in the walks department. Despite showing flashes of brilliance, Perdomo has struggled to draw walks lately, averaging just 0.5 walks over his last ten games. The Cardinals' pitching staff, particularly their starters, have kept opposing hitters in check, boasting a solid 7.8% walk rate against them this season.
What’s more, Perdomo faces a tough matchup against a pitcher known for command; he isn't likely to be overly generous on the mound. Given the stakes of this game and the recent trends, it's no surprise that the under on Perdomo's walks is drawing attention. With the odds favoring a low walk count and a significant edge leaning towards the under, it seems likely that Perdomo won't be adding to his walk totals today. Look for him to remain aggressive at the plate rather than taking those free passes.
