Xander Bogaerts (BOS) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-204)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Braves prepare to host the Padres, all eyes will be on Xander Bogaerts, whose recent performance paints a cautious picture for his total bases. Bogaerts has struggled to find his rhythm against right-handed pitchers lately, and with Atlanta's ace on the mound, he's likely to face a real challenge. The Braves' pitching staff has been superb, especially at home, where they’ve limited opposing hitters to a mere .220 average over the past month.
Bogaerts’ tendency to ground into double plays also raises a red flag, especially against a Braves defense that's been turning them at a high rate. With the stakes high and Atlanta playing for postseason positioning, expect them to keep the pressure on. Given all these factors, betting the under on Bogaerts' total bases seems wise; it’s a scenario where less might just be more, and the numbers are firmly in our corner.
