Isaac Paredes (HOU) Under 1.5 Hits (-175)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Isaac Paredes for Under 1.5 in the Batter Hits market is a solid choice, primarily due to his recent performance data. His last five (L5) overall hits average is 0.8, which is considerably less than the line of 1.5. Similarly, his L5 away hits average is even lower at 0.6. Even when taking into account his performance against the Oakland Athletics specifically, his L5 average against this opponent is only 1 hit. Despite his current hit streak of 3, his lower hit averages suggest a higher likelihood of scoring under 1.5 in the upcoming game. His average plate appearances, both overall and away, also support this, as they do not significantly exceed 4, limiting his opportunities to hit. Therefore, the under bet is statistically justified.
