Randal Grichuk (COL) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-154)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Chicago White Sox take on the Boston Red Sox, all eyes will be on Randal Grichuk, but the smart money leans towards the under on his total bases. Grichuk has struggled to find consistency lately, hitting just .230 over his last 10 games. Facing a White Sox pitching staff that has shown resilience, particularly with their top arms, this may be a tough outing for him.
Moreover, the Sox have limited opponents to a mere .250 average at home, showcasing their ability to neutralize power hitters. Grichuk's tendency to chase pitches outside the zone could play right into the hands of the White Sox’s crafty pitchers. With the model projecting only around 0.96 total bases for him, it's hard to see him breaking through that 1.5 mark today. Given these trends, the under feels like the savvy play in this matchup.
