Liam Hicks (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-204)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Miami Marlins host the San Diego Padres, all eyes will be on Liam Hicks, but betting the 'Under' on his total bases feels like the right call. Hicks has been in a bit of a funk lately, struggling against right-handed pitching, and the Padres will throw out a tough righty in their starter.
The Marlins’ lineup has seen better days, currently sitting in the bottom third in the league in total bases per game. Meanwhile, Miami's home field tends to favor pitchers, and with the humid Florida air, the ball doesn’t carry as much. Add in the Padres’ solid bullpen, which has been tough to crack, and the odds feel even more stacked against Hicks piling up those bases. With a projected total well below his line of 1.5, this seems like a smart play to keep Hicks under the radar.
