Josh Rojas (ARI) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-175)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Rockies gear up to face the Royals, keep an eye on Josh Rojas' performance at the plate. Rojas has struggled recently, hitting just.214 over his last ten games, which is a stark contrast to his earlier season form. The Rockies’ home field advantage is usually a boon, but their lineup has hit a rough patch, managing only a.230 average against left-handed pitchers, who are notoriously tricky for Rojas.
Facing off against Royals' lefty Daniel Lynch, who’s generated a respectable 3.80 ERA in his last five starts, the odds are stacked against Rojas. Lynch has shown the ability to keep hitters off balance, striking out nearly a batter per inning. With Rojas projected for under 1.5 total bases, it seems wise to lean into the recent trends and the tough matchup, making the 'under' a compelling pick in this contest.
