Miguel Amaya (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-323)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Phillies gear up to face the Cubs, all eyes will be on Miguel Amaya, who’s finding himself in a tough spot against Philadelphia's pitching staff. The Phillies have been formidable at home, with their starters boasting an impressive strikeout rate that could keep Amaya in check. He’s struggled recently, managing just one hit in his last few games, and facing a pitcher like Zack Wheeler, who thrives on getting batters to chase, only adds to the challenge.
Amaya’s current form and Wheeler’s electric stuff suggest that getting two hits off him tonight is a tall order. With the Cubs’ lineup also experiencing inconsistency, it’s hard to see Amaya surpassing the 1.5 hit mark. Given these dynamics, taking the under seems like a savvy move as the Phillies aim to extend their dominance at home.
