Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Justin Verlander for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed (Alternate) market is supported by his recent performance data. His last five games show a consistent trend of allowing more than 2.5 hits, both overall and when playing away. On average, Verlander has allowed 5.2 hits overall and 5.4 hits when playing away. His performance against the Braves specifically also supports this bet, with an average of 7 hits allowed in their last five matchups. Furthermore, his innings pitched (IP) and outs averages, which are lower when playing away and against the Braves, suggest he's more likely to allow hits in these scenarios. Despite his current hit streak being zero, the consistent trend in his performance indicates a high probability of allowing over 2.5 hits.
