J.P. Crawford (SEA) Under 2.5 Total Bases (-526)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Mariners take on the Angels, it’s worth keeping an eye on J.P. Crawford’s total bases. While Crawford has shown flashes of brilliance this season, his recent performances suggest he might struggle to clear the 2.5 mark tonight. Facing a formidable Angels pitching staff, Crawford's bat has cooled off lately—he's managed just a handful of hits in his last few games, with less than stellar numbers against right-handers, particularly when they feature a strong fastball.
Moreover, the Mariners’ offense has been inconsistent, particularly in clutch situations, often failing to string together hits against quality pitchers. With the Angels bringing their best to the mound, and Crawford’s recent trends pointing downward, siding with the under seems wise. This matchup has all the ingredients for a low-scoring affair, making it challenging for Crawford to surpass that total. Keep an eye on this one; the under looks promising.
