Paul Goldschmidt (STL) Under 0.5 RBIs (-278)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees gear up to face the Pirates, all eyes will be on Paul Goldschmidt, but betting on him to drive in a run might not be the play. The Yankees’ pitching staff has been lights out lately, boasting a stingy ERA that’s kept opposing hitters at bay. Goldschmidt, despite his accolades, has faced tough matchups against elite arms like Gerrit Cole, who has a knack for neutralizing power hitters.
Moreover, the Yankees have tightened up their defense, ranking among the top in the league for limiting RBIs. Goldschmidt's recent form shows a dip in production against right-handed pitchers, and the current lineup of Yankees pitchers is well-equipped to exploit those weaknesses. Given all these factors, the prediction of him finishing under 0.5 RBIs feels more than reasonable—especially in a game where runs might be at a premium.
