Noelvi Marte (CIN) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-189)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Reds face off against the Cubs on July 10, keep an eye on Noelvi Marte's total bases. While Marte has shown flashes of talent, recent trends point to a potential struggle at the plate. The Cubs' pitching staff has found its groove, especially with their starters limiting opposing hitters to a measly .220 average over the last month.
Marte, for his part, has faced a stiff challenge from right-handed pitchers, hitting just .215 against them this season. When you combine that with the fact that he’s been mired in a slump, going 3-for-23 in his last six games, it’s hard to envision him breaking out for more than one total base against a resilient Cubs rotation. With the line set at 1.5 and the odds favoring the under, the smart play here is to lean under—Marte's recent performances suggest he’ll have a tough time finding the gaps tonight.
