Kerry Carpenter (NA) Under 0.5 Hits (+106)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Angels host the Tigers, all eyes will be on Kerry Carpenter’s performance at the plate. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance this season, recent trends suggest he may struggle against the Angels’ pitching. The Los Angeles bullpen has been lights out, particularly against right-handed hitters, which bodes poorly for Carpenter, who has a tendency to falter in tougher matchups.
Over the past couple of weeks, he’s been mired in a slump, with just a couple of hits in his last ten at-bats. On top of that, the Angels' starters have consistently limited opposing batters, making it tough for hitters like Carpenter to get comfortable. With the odds leaning toward the under for his hits, it feels like a smart play to take the under 0.5. Expect a solid outing from the Angels’ pitching staff to keep Carpenter in check.
