Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals: Oneil Cruz Over 4.5 Batter - Total Bases (+1280)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Oneil Cruz has been on fire lately, averaging two hits per game in his last three games. He's getting hits at about 1.4 times his usual rate, which shows he's in a good groove. The Pirates are also playing well, having won six of their last ten games, and PNC Park is tough for hitters, with home runs coming in lower than usual.
Betting on Cruz to get over 4.5 total bases looks promising because he's been hitting well against teams like the Cardinals, who have struggled lately, winning only three of their last ten games. The most concrete risk is that the matchup is pretty close, and the Cardinals might pitch well. Still, Cruz has a real chance to shine here.
