Luis Arraez (MIN) Under 1.5 Hits (-213)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Nationals host the Giants on April 19, all eyes will be on Luis Arraez, who’s been a consistent presence at the plate but has some challenges looming. Despite his impressive batting average, recent trends show Arraez struggling against lefties, and with San Francisco’s Alex Wood on the mound, it could be a long day for him. Wood has been adept at keeping hitters off balance, boasting a solid 2.92 ERA and limiting opponents to a .220 batting average.
The Giants' bullpen has also been a tough nut to crack, especially late in games. Given that Arraez is projected to settle around 0.67 hits today, betting the under on his hits feels prudent. With the odds favoring under 1.5 hits, the stage seems set for Arraez to face a challenging matchup that may keep him from racking up multiple hits.
