Ty France (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-286)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Angels host the Padres, keep an eye on Ty France’s performance at the plate. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance, recent trends suggest he might struggle to find his rhythm against the Angels’ formidable pitching staff. With a consistent strikeout rate hovering around 25%, France has had difficulty against right-handed pitchers like the Angels' ace, who’s been racking up strikeouts and limiting hard contact this season.
When facing teams with strong bullpens, France's numbers dip even further, and the Angels’ bullpen has been lights out lately, boasting a sub-3.00 ERA. Combine that with France’s recent slump, and the under 1.5 hits seems like a compelling wager. The odds are leaning toward this outcome, backed by statistical trends that suggest France will find it tough to notch even two hits in this matchup. It sets up perfectly for a low-output day for him.
