Kyle Tucker (HOU) Under 0.5 Hits (+127)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees host the Dodgers this Friday, all eyes will be on Kyle Tucker, but betting on him to record a hit might not be wise. Tucker has recently struggled against left-handed pitching, and with the Dodgers throwing a crafty southpaw on the mound, it could be a long night for him at the plate.
The Yankees’ lineup has been a mixed bag lately, and they’ve faced a barrage of elite pitching. Tucker’s numbers against lefties this season highlight this trend, showcasing an alarming dip in OPS. The Dodgers’ bullpen, known for its late-game dominance and depth, further complicates matters for hitters like Tucker who thrive on getting settled in early. With a model predicting him to fall short of that elusive hit, betting the under on Tucker feels like a savvy move—especially in a matchup where every at-bat will be hard-fought.
