Tampa Bay Rays vs San Diego Padres: Walker Buehler Under 1.5 Pitcher - Walks (-103)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
For this bet to hit, Walker Buehler needs to keep his walks under 1.5 tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. He's been strong lately, averaging just 2 strikeouts per game over his last three games, which suggests he's finding ways to get batters out without giving them free passes. The Rays have a decent lineup, but against left-handed starters like Buehler, they've been hitting a little below average.
The Rays are playing at home, where they've been much better this season with a record of 43 wins and 23 losses. Still, their hitting against lefties isn't stellar either, matching the league average. The biggest risk here is how close Buehler's recent strikeout rate is to his walk total, meaning he could get into trouble if he's not careful with his pitches.
