Riley Greene (DET) Under 1.5 Doubles (-2000)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Angels host the Tigers today, all eyes should be on Riley Greene's doubles potential. While Greene is an exciting young talent, recent trends reveal he's been struggling to find gaps consistently, with just one double in his last 30 at-bats. The Angels' pitching staff has been particularly tough on left-handed hitters like Greene, holding them to a mere .180 batting average over the past month.
Moreover, the Angels' defense has tightened up, leading to fewer extra-base hits, especially in their home park where they’ve managed to limit opponents' scoring chances. With Greene's current form and the hostile environment he faces against an Angels squad eager to bolster their postseason hopes, the smart play here looks to be the Under on 1.5 doubles. It’s a calculated bet that aligns with the numbers and the current dynamics on the field.
