The Over 2.5 bet on Michael Wacha's hits allowed is a sensible choice, given his recent performance data. Wacha's average hits allowed over the last five games is significantly higher than the line set for this bet, both overall (4.8) and at home (4.6). Against the Blue Jays, his hits allowed average jumps even higher to 6.2. Furthermore, his innings pitched average is around 5, meaning he's likely to be on the mound long enough to allow more than 2.5 hits. His current hit streaks of 19 overall and 26 at home also suggest a pattern of allowing hits. Therefore, the statistical data indicates a high probability of Wacha allowing over 2.5 hits in the upcoming game.
