Otto Lopez (MIA) Under 0.5 Doubles (-769)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees prepare to face the Marlins, Otto Lopez's chances of hitting a double seem slim, and here's why. While the Yankees' lineup often crushes opposing pitchers, Lopez faces a tough challenge against a competent New York rotation, particularly with their ace on the mound.
Lopez has struggled to find gaps this season, managing only a handful of extra-base hits. The Yankees' defense, anchored by a solid infield, excels at limiting extra-base opportunities, which aligns with Lopez's recent trend of hitting primarily ground balls and fly outs.
Given that he’s been averaging less than a double per game, and with the odds heavily favoring the ‘Under 0.5,’ backing this selection feels prudent. With the Yankees' deep pitching staff and Lopez's recent performance, it’s hard to envision him finding the wall tonight. All signs point toward a quiet day for the young Marlin.
