A.J. Ewing (NA) Under 0.5 Doubles (-769)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mets prepare to face the Braves on July 28, all eyes will be on A.J. Ewing's ability to find gaps against a formidable Atlanta pitching staff. Ewing, while talented, has been struggling to convert his contact into doubles lately, sitting with just a handful in his last few outings. With the Braves’ starting pitcher boasting an impressive ground-ball rate, the chances of Ewing lifting one into the alley diminish significantly. Moreover, the Mets’ lineup has also been plagued with inconsistency, making it tough for Ewing to gain momentum. Given that he's projected to hit under 0.5 doubles, the trend supports this bet. With Ewing averaging just 0.11 doubles per game and the Braves’ high strikeout rate against left-handers potentially keeping Ewing at bay, laying down a wager on his under feels like a safe call. Tonight, the diamond may not be as forgiving for Ewing.

Michael Harris II (NA) Under 0.5 Doubles (-625)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mets prepare to host the Braves, all eyes will be on Michael Harris II, but bettors should consider the value in taking the under on his doubles. Harris has displayed flashes of brilliance this season, but lately, he’s been struggling to find gaps, recording just a handful of doubles in his last few weeks of action. Facing a Mets pitching staff that’s been exceptional at limiting extra-base hits, particularly at home, makes this matchup even trickier for him. Over his past fifteen games, Harris has managed only one double, and the Mets’ pitchers have a knack for inducing ground balls, which is ideal for shutting down a player like him. With an implied probability of over 86% for this bet, it’s hard to overlook how the trends align. Taking the under on Harris's doubles feels like a savvy move in this tightly contested battle.

Bo Bichette (TOR) Under 0.5 Doubles (-625)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mets prepare to host the Braves, all eyes will be on Bo Bichette's chances of turning one into two. While Bichette has been a dynamic presence at the plate, there's reason to believe he might struggle to find the gap tonight. The Mets’ pitching staff has been particularly effective in limiting extra-base hits, boasting a solid ground ball rate that keeps the ball down and in the park. Moreover, Bichette's recent form shows a dip against left-handed pitchers, a concern considering the Mets are rolling out their ace, who’s been dominating lefties with a strikeout rate above 30%. The combination of a hostile environment in Citi Field and a stingy Mets bullpen makes the under on Bichette’s doubles look like a wise bet. With an implied probability of over 86%, it seems like a tight game where doubles might be hard to come by.
