Trent Grisham (SDP) Under 0.5 Doubles (-714)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Giants host the Yankees, all eyes will be on Trent Grisham, but betting on him to hit a double might not be the safest wager. Grisham has been struggling to find his rhythm, and against a formidable Yankees pitching staff, his chances of extra-base hits diminish significantly.
The Yankees' pitching lineup has shown impressive control, especially with their starters boasting a low average of doubles allowed. Plus, Grisham's recent form reveals a troubling trend—he's been hitting into the shift more often, which stifles his ability to find gaps in the outfield. With the Giants’ offensive approach leaning towards small ball and singles rather than power, the likelihood of Grisham landing a double feels slim. Given the statistical backing of just a 7% prediction for this outcome, taking the under on 0.5 doubles makes for a savvy play in this matchup.
