Ke'Bryan Hayes (PIT) Under 1.5 Hits (-500)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Seattle Mariners host the Cincinnati Reds, all eyes will be on Ke'Bryan Hayes and whether he can find his rhythm at the plate. While Hayes has shown flashes of brilliance this season, his recent form is a bit concerning. He’s struggled against left-handed pitchers, and with the Mariners set to send out a strong southpaw, this matchup could be tricky.
Furthermore, the Mariners' pitching staff has been stingy lately, holding opponents to a .220 batting average over the last month. They’ve excelled at limiting hits, which makes the Under on Hayes at 1.5 particularly appealing. With the Reds in a slump, scoring runs has been a challenge, and Hayes may find himself facing tough at-bats against a pitcher who's been lights out. Given the trends, betting on Hayes to stay under that hit total feels like a savvy play in this matchup.
