Konnor Griffin (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-244)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Phillies gear up to face the Pirates, all eyes will be on Konnor Griffin, who’s been finding it tough at the plate lately. Griffin's recent struggles are evident; he’s been held to fewer than two hits in several of his last outings, and the Pirates’ pitching staff has quietly been effective. With a solid ERA and a knack for inducing ground balls, their starter will challenge Griffin’s timing.
Digging deeper, the Phillies’ lineup has been inconsistent against right-handed pitchers, and Griffin has particularly struggled against them in high-pressure situations. Coupled with the fact that the Pirates' bullpen can stifle late-game rallies, it seems likely that Griffin will come in under the 1.5 hits threshold. Given these dynamics, taking the under on his hits feels like a sound play for this matchup.
