Trent Grisham (SDP) Under 0.5 Doubles (-625)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Yankees host the Pirates, all eyes will be on Trent Grisham, but betting on him to hit a double may not be the wisest choice. Grisham has been struggling lately, with a batting average hovering around .230 in his last few weeks, reflecting a significant drop in power production. Facing a Yankees pitching staff that ranks among the best in the league, particularly with their ability to neutralize left-handed hitters, Grisham might find it tough to find gaps. Moreover, the Yankees’ defensive metrics are impressive, and their outfield is known for its strong arm, making it difficult for anyone to stretch singles into doubles. With Grisham's recent form and the Yankees on a roll, the odds favor an “Under” on his doubles tonight. Given all this, the under 0.5 doubles for Grisham feels like a prudent play in this matchup.

Bryan Reynolds (PIT) Under 0.5 Doubles (-667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Yankees host the Pirates on Tuesday, all eyes will be on Bryan Reynolds, who’s been a bright spot for Pittsburgh, yet trends suggest a tough night ahead for him. Reynolds is facing a Yankees pitching staff that excels in limiting extra-base hits, particularly against left-handed batters like him. With a robust ground-ball rate and a strikeout percentage that hovers around the mid-20s, the Yankees' starters are well-equipped to keep Reynolds from finding gaps. Moreover, Reynolds has struggled recently, hitting just .240 over his last 10 games. While he can be a sparkplug when hot, his timing seems off against teams with strong bullpens like New York's, which features a lights-out reliever corps. With Reynolds’ double rate declining and the Yankees' penchant for stifling opposing hitters, taking the under on his doubles feels like a savvy play in this matchup.

Brandon Lowe (TBR) Under 0.5 Doubles (-625)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Yankees welcome the Pirates to the Bronx, all eyes will be on Brandon Lowe, who’s been quiet lately with the bat. Despite his reputation, Lowe has struggled to find gaps against left-handed pitching, and tonight’s matchup against a formidable southpaw could keep him in check. The Yankees’ pitching staff has been particularly stingy at home, yielding fewer extra-base hits, and with Lowe’s recent trend of hitting the ball on the ground more than usual, the odds lean heavily toward him finishing the night without a double. When you consider that statistically, he’s hitting under .200 in his last ten games versus lefties, the under on 0.5 doubles feels like a savvy play. With an implied probability hovering around 86%, this wager isn't just a hunch; it's backed by solid trends and a favorable pitching matchup. Keep your eyes peeled; tonight might just be a long night for Lowe at the plate.
