Juan Soto (WSN) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-164)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the New York Mets prepare to host the Boston Red Sox, all eyes will be on Juan Soto, but there’s a compelling case to consider betting the under on his total bases at 1.5. Soto has faced a tough stretch lately, managing just a handful of hits in his last few games. Against left-handers, his numbers have dipped, and with the Red Sox sending a skilled southpaw to the mound, it could be a challenging day for him at the plate.
Moreover, the Mets' pitching staff has been solid against lefties, boasting a low opponent batting average that stifles even the hottest hitters. Considering that Soto’s recent form combined with the pitching matchup may limit his opportunities, betting the under seems like a savvy play. As the game unfolds, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Soto struggle to find gaps, keeping him under that crucial total.
