Matt Vierling (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-189)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cubs gear up to face the Tigers, all eyes should be on Matt Vierling’s performance at the plate. While Vierling has shown flashes of potential, recent trends suggest that he’s likely to struggle against the Cubs’ pitching staff. Chicago's rotation has been particularly stingy at home, boasting a solid 3.50 ERA, which could stifle Vierling's chances of finding gaps.
Moreover, Vierling has only managed an average of 0.5 total bases in his last few outings, reflecting a downturn in form. With the wind at Wrigley Field favoring pitchers on this July evening, it’s reasonable to expect that the Cubs’ arms will keep him in check. Given these dynamics, betting on Vierling to fall under 1.5 total bases seems like a shrewd move. The combination of his recent struggles and the Cubs' strong home performance paints a compelling picture for this wager.
