Josh Bell (WSN) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-169)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Guardians prepare to host the Twins, the spotlight turns to Josh Bell, who’s been navigating a rough patch at the plate. Despite his power potential, Bell has struggled recently, with just one extra-base hit in his last six games. The Twins’ pitching staff, led by a rejuvenated Sonny Gray, has been stifling left-handed hitters like Bell, limiting them to a measly .210 average.
Moreover, Cleveland's offense has shown inconsistency, particularly against quality arms, which could further hinder Bell’s chances of racking up total bases. With Gray's ability to command the strike zone, Bell might find himself facing fewer pitches to drive. Given the current form and matchup dynamics, betting on Bell to stay under 1.5 total bases feels like the smart play here. Expect a disciplined outing from the Twins' ace to keep Bell in check tonight.
