Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cubs prepare to face the Mets, all eyes should be on Nico Hoerner’s batting line. While Hoerner has shown flashes of brilliance this season, his recent performance suggests he might struggle against the Mets’ formidable pitching staff. New York has been exceptional at limiting hits, boasting one of the lower averages against in the league.
Moreover, Hoerner's recent form isn’t exactly inspiring; he’s finding it tougher at the plate lately, with opposing pitchers exploiting his weaknesses. The Cubs' offense, while potent at times, has faced its share of inconsistency, and this matchup might not favor Hoerner. Considering the Mets' starting pitcher is in top form and has a knack for inducing weak contact, betting on Hoerner to stay under 1.5 hits feels like a savvy play. With the odds leaning toward this outcome, it’s worth considering when placing your bets today.
