Luke Raley (TBR) Under 2.5 Hits (-333)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Padres host the Mariners, all eyes will be on Luke Raley and his performance at the plate. Raley has been a bit of a mixed bag lately, and with the Mariners' pitching staff coming off a strong stretch, his chances of racking up hits seem slim. Seattle’s bullpen has been particularly effective, boasting a low opponent batting average and consistently keeping hitters in check.
With Raley sitting under 2.5 hits, we should also consider his recent struggles against right-handed pitchers, especially those with power stuff. The Padres are facing off against a Mariners lineup that has been stellar defensively, making it tough for any batter to find success consistently. All signs point to Raley having a challenging night, making the under a compelling play as he likely falls short of that hit mark again on Friday.
