Josh Jung (TEX) Under 1.5 Doubles (-1667)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Mariners gear up to host the Rangers, all eyes will be on Josh Jung and his pursuit of doubles. However, it’s worth noting that Jung has been somewhat of a doubles drought recently, particularly against left-handed pitching, where he’s hitting just .230. With Mariners' southpaw Marco Gonzales taking the mound, who boasts a solid 3.30 ERA at home, Jung’s chances for extra-base hits could take a hit.
In Gonzales’ last few starts, he’s shown an ability to keep the ball in the yard and limit hard contact, forcing opponents into ground balls and pop-ups. The Rangers as a team have struggled to find consistent power lately, especially on the road. Given these trends and the statistical landscape, expecting Jung to go over 1.5 doubles seems like a tall order. The under looks like the savvy play here, especially with the implied probability heavily favoring it.
