Jazz Chisholm Jr. (NA) Over 0.5 batter_hits_runs_rbis_alternate (-286)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Yankees prepare to host the Pirates, Jazz Chisholm Jr. is poised to make his presence felt at the plate. The young slugger has been on a tear lately, capitalizing on opposing pitchers’ mistakes with a sharp eye and explosive swing. Facing the Pirates' rotation, which has struggled against left-handed hitters, Chisholm’s chances of producing at least one hit, run, or RBI are looking promising. The Yankees' lineup has been a juggernaut at home, igniting their offense with consistent power and run support. Meanwhile, the Pirates have had a tough time limiting runs, allowing batters to thrive in clutch situations. Given Chisholm's recent form and the favorable matchup, betting on him to go 'Over 0.5' hits, runs, or RBIs seems like a savvy play. With the odds heavily leaning in our favor, expect Chisholm to deliver when it counts in this exciting showdown.

Esmerlyn Valdez (NA) Over 0.5 batter_hits_runs_rbis_alternate (-233)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Yankees take on the Pirates at Yankee Stadium, all eyes will be on Esmerlyn Valdez. The young slugger has been heating up lately, showcasing a keen eye at the plate that’s been translating into consistent offensive production. Valdez has a knack for finding gaps, and considering the Yankees' high-powered lineup, he’s likely to see plenty of pitches to hit against a Pirates pitching staff that has struggled to contain power hitters. Moreover, the Yankees have been racking up runs at home, averaging well over five per game, which only bodes well for Valdez's chances to contribute. With Valdez needing just one hit to cash the over on this prop, it’s hard to overlook the momentum behind him. Given the recent trends and the favorable matchup, betting on Valdez to get over 0.5 hits, runs, or RBIs feels like a wise play in this high-stakes showdown.

Paul Goldschmidt (STL) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-179)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Yankees prepare to face the Pirates, keep a close eye on Paul Goldschmidt’s total bases. While Goldschmidt has had his share of success, recent trends suggest he might struggle to clear the 1.5 total bases mark today. The Yankees’ pitching staff has been formidable, boasting a strikeout rate that can stifle even the hottest bats. Moreover, Goldschmidt has faced lefties less favorably, and with the Yankees likely rolling out a strong southpaw, he could find himself in a tough spot at the plate. Add to that the Pirates' recent batting woes—averaging a low on-base percentage against quality pitching—and it paints a picture of a challenging night for Goldschmidt. With the odds favoring the under, it feels like a savvy play to take the ‘under’ on his total bases. Expect a defensive showdown where Goldschmidt might not find the gaps he needs.
