Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As we dive into the matchup between the Kansas City Royals and the Milwaukee Brewers, all eyes should be on Starling Marte. The veteran outfielder has been a consistent force at the plate, and with the Royals’ pitching staff struggling against left-handed hitters, Marte’s chances for success look bright.
Kansas City has allowed a troubling .275 batting average against lefties this season, which bodes well for Marte, who’s not only seen the ball well lately but also carries a .360 on-base percentage against right-handed pitching. With the Brewers lineup supporting him, Marte is poised to capitalize on any pitch left over the plate.
Moreover, with an implied probability hovering around 64.9% for this bet, it’s hard to ignore the trends. Expect Marte to add to his hit tally today and take advantage of a favorable matchup. The “Over 0.5” hits feels like a savvy play in this afternoon showdown.
