Justin Crawford (NA) Under 1.5 Doubles (-2000)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Giants and Phillies clash in San Francisco, all eyes will be on Justin Crawford. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance this season, the numbers suggest tonight may not be his night for finding the gaps. The Giants' stellar pitching staff, particularly their lefty ace, has been a nightmare for opposing hitters, allowing just a mere .290 slugging percentage against left-handed batters. Crawford’s recent struggles against southpaws have led to a dip in his extra-base hit production, making the under on his doubles a tantalizing play.
Additionally, the Giants have excelled at home, and with the wind potentially swirling at Oracle Park, the odds of Crawford hitting multiple doubles seem slim. Given his current form and the Giants' pitching prowess, betting under 1.5 doubles feels like a prudent decision. It's all about the narrative, and tonight, it suggests a quieter outing for Crawford.
