Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Nationals gear up to host the Blue Jays, all eyes will be on Yohendrick Pinango, whose recent performance suggests a challenging day at the plate. Batting against a formidable Toronto pitching staff, Pinango has struggled to find his rhythm, consistently coming up short on total bases. The Blue Jays' starters have been particularly effective, boasting a strikeout rate that's climbed to nearly 25%, which spells trouble for hitters like Pinango.
Moreover, when you look at the Nationals' lineup, they’ve been prone to swings and misses, especially against pitchers with a high strikeout tendency. Pinango’s current form, combined with the Blue Jays' recent dominance on the mound, makes taking the under on his total bases a smart play. With the metrics pointing towards an underwhelming outing, betting on him to stay under 1.5 total bases seems like a savvy move as the teams clash on Wednesday.
