Wade Meckler (LAA) Under 1.5 Hits (-357)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Angels gear up to face the Red Sox, all eyes will be on Wade Meckler, but betting on him to go over 1.5 hits feels a bit ambitious. Meckler, while showing promise, has struggled recently against right-handed pitching, and tonight, he’s up against a formidable opponent in Boston’s ace. The Red Sox have been stingy when it comes to hits allowed, boasting a solid 3.80 ERA over their last few games.
Additionally, with the Angels’ lineup often sputtering under pressure, it’s tough to envision Meckler breaking through against a pitcher who’s been locking down hitters left and right. Historical trends also support this lean towards the under; Meckler has only reached two hits in a handful of games recently. Given these factors, the under 1.5 hits feels like the wise move as the Angels and Sox clash on the diamond.
