Mark Vientos (NYM) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-167)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Braves and Mets face off in this Sunday showdown, keep an eye on Mark Vientos when it comes to total bases. While he’s shown flashes of potential, the numbers suggest a challenging day ahead. The Braves’ pitching staff has been on fire lately, boasting an impressive strikeout rate that could frustrate Vientos at the plate.
Moreover, Vientos has struggled against right-handed pitching, and with Atlanta’s ace likely taking the mound, his chances of racking up 1.5 total bases seem slim. The Mets have been inconsistent offensively, and with the Braves holding a strong grip on the series, the pressure could mount.
Given Vientos’ current form and the Braves' ability to stifle opposing hitters, betting on him to stay under that 1.5 total bases feels like a prudent move. It's a perfect storm for an under bet, where the matchup dynamics align favorably against Vientos.
