Trevor Larnach (MIN) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-169)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Cubs welcome the Twins to Wrigley Field, all eyes will be on Trevor Larnach, but the under on his total bases might just be the savvy play. Larnach has been in a bit of a funk lately, struggling against right-handers like Cubs’ Marcus Stroman, who boasts a solid 2.85 ERA at home. The Cubs’ pitching staff has kept opposing hitters in check, and Stroman’s ability to command the zone could stifle Larnach’s bat.
Looking at Larnach’s recent numbers, he’s averaged just 0.5 total bases over his last few games, and with the Cubs' defense tightening up, getting to 1.5 might be a stretch. With the Cubs playing meaningful baseball and looking to continue their playoff push, expect a low-scoring affair that doesn’t play into Larnach’s hands. The smart money is on the under here as he likely falls short of that total.
