Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Mariners host the Rangers on April 18, keep an eye on Jake Burger. While he's shown flashes of power, he may struggle to get on base against Texas’ starting pitcher, who’s been on a roll lately. The Rangers' hurler has limited opponents to a .220 batting average over his last few starts, making it tough for hitters to find gaps.
Burger’s recent performance has been a mixed bag, especially against right-handed pitchers, where he’s only managed to secure a hit in four of his last ten games. Combine that with the Mariners' lineup, which has been slightly inconsistent, and the under on 1.5 hits for Burger starts to look appealing. The numbers suggest he could fall short, and with a hefty implied probability of nearly 77%, taking the under here seems like a savvy play in this matchup.
