Oswald Peraza (NA) Under 1.5 Stolen Bases (-2000)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees face off against the Angels, all eyes will be on Oswald Peraza, especially when it comes to his speed on the base paths. However, I’m leaning towards the 'Under 1.5' for his stolen bases tonight. While Peraza has shown flashes of brilliance, the Yankees' game strategy often leans towards more conservative base running, particularly against the Angels’ strong defensive arm in center field, Mike Trout.
Moreover, the Yankees have averaged just over one stolen base per game this season, with Peraza averaging less than half that. He’s also been held in check on the base paths lately, which aligns with the Angels' tendency to limit opposing players’ attempts. Given the high stakes of this matchup and the pitchers involved—who excel at holding runners—Peraza may find it tough to take that extra base tonight. All signs point to a cautious approach, making the 'Under 1.5' a smart bet.
