Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees gear up to face the Pirates, all eyes will be on Tyler Callihan, but betting on him to record a hit feels like a stretch. Callihan has struggled against right-handed pitchers, with an underwhelming average that doesn’t inspire confidence, particularly against a Yankees rotation that's been firing on all cylinders lately.
Looking at the numbers, the Yankees' pitching staff has excelled at limiting hits—especially at home, where they’ve stifled opposing bats. With an implied probability of just 54.3% on Callihan’s chances, it’s clear that the odds aren’t in his favor. The Pirates' lineup has been inconsistent, and while they have their moments, facing off against a powerhouse like the Yankees usually brings out the best in pitchers.
Given Callihan's recent performance and the tough matchup ahead, taking the under on his hits seems like a savvy play in this high-stakes showdown.
