Jake Rogers (NA) Under 1.5 RBIs (-1250)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Tigers and Royals square off, Jake Rogers stands out, but not necessarily for a big day at the plate. The recent trends back up the idea of him staying under 1.5 RBIs. Kansas City’s pitching staff has tightened up, particularly with their left-hander on the mound, who limits hard contact effectively. Rogers, while a solid hitter, has struggled against southpaws, hitting a mere .220 in such matchups over the last month.
Moreover, the Tigers' lineup is inconsistent, often relying on solo homers rather than driving in runs. With the Royals' bullpen also showing signs of improvement, it’s hard to see Rogers racking up multiple RBIs in this tight matchup. As the teams face each other, the odds lean heavily towards an underwhelming performance for Rogers, making the under 1.5 RBIs a savvy play in this context.
