Joey Ortiz (NA) Under 2.5 Hits (-714)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Arizona Diamondbacks host the Milwaukee Brewers, all eyes will be on Joey Ortiz and his quest for hits. However, given his recent struggles at the plate, betting on him to stay under 2.5 hits seems wise. Ortiz has faced some fierce pitching lately, and the Brewers’ rotation is no walk in the park, especially with their top arms effectively limiting opponents' batting averages.
In his past few games, Ortiz has been swinging a bit cold, struggling to find gaps against right-handed pitchers, which Milwaukee is sending to the mound. Plus, the Diamondbacks' offense has been sputtering, averaging just a handful of hits in recent contests. With Ortiz’s current form and the Brewers’ strong bullpen, it’s hard to envision him breaking out for three hits today. It looks like a classic case of underwhelming production at the plate, making that under bet a compelling choice.
