Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Giants host the Cubs on June 14, all eyes should be on Ian Happ and whether he can cross the plate. While Happ has shown flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest a tough day at the plate awaits him. The Giants’ pitching staff has tightened up, boasting a 3.45 ERA at home, and their bullpen has been particularly stingy, ranking among the league leaders in limiting runs.
Happ has struggled against right-handed pitching lately, hitting just .220 in his last 50 plate appearances against them. With the Giants sending a formidable righty to the mound, it's hard to envision him scoring more than once. Given the models estimating him at just 0.58 runs, the under on 1.5 feels like a savvy play. If the Giants can keep him in check, it could be a quiet afternoon for Happ.
