Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Pirates gear up to face the Marlins, all eyes should be on Spencer Horwitz and his chances at the plate. With the recent trends in mind, the under 1.5 hits line looks enticing. Horwitz, despite flashes of potential, has been struggling at the dish lately, managing just a handful of hits in his last handful of games. The Marlins' pitching staff, led by a resurgent ace, has been stifling hitters, evidenced by their recent stretch of allowing just a handful of runs per game.
Moreover, Pittsburgh’s lineup has struggled against right-handed pitching, and with Horwitz facing a tough righty today, he could find himself with limited opportunities. When you combine his recent performance with Miami’s formidable pitching, it paints a clear picture: it’s a night where Horwitz is more likely to be held in check. Betting the under on his hits feels like the right call in this matchup.
