Ozzie Albies (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-175)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Atlanta Braves take on the Miami Marlins, all eyes will be on Ozzie Albies, but betting under 1.5 hits for him might be the smart play. The Marlins have been exceptional on the mound lately, with their pitching staff boasting a solid strikeout rate that could stifle Albies' swing. He’s faced a few tough lefties recently, and Miami’s left-handed pitchers have been limiting right-handed hitters to a mere .230 average.
Moreover, Albies has struggled to find his groove in the past week, collecting just a couple of hits in his last five games. The Braves may have an explosive lineup, but they’re also known for their patience—often taking walks over swinging at bad pitches. With the Marlins’ revamped pitching strategy and Albies’ recent slump, betting under 1.5 hits could play out well in this matchup.
