Kyle Schwarber (PHI) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-139)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Phillies gear up to face the Mets on July 16, all eyes should be on Kyle Schwarber's total bases. With an impressive start to the season, Schwarber has shown flashes of brilliance, but recent trends indicate a dip in production against left-handed pitchers—specifically, he’s managed just a .200 average lately when facing southpaws. The Mets’ starter, likely a lefty, has been effective at limiting damage, boasting a solid WHIP and an uptick in strikeouts against left-handed hitters.
Moreover, the Phillies’ lineup has been a bit stagnant, struggling to produce runs consistently. With Schwarber’s current form and the matchup against a tough lefty, betting on him to stay under 1.5 total bases feels like a wise play. The numbers suggest he’ll have a challenging night at the plate, especially when taking into account his recent performance trends.
