The legs, one at a time
Trent Grisham (SDP) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-179)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees gear up to face the Cardinals, the spotlight on Trent Grisham’s performance becomes intriguing, especially with the total bases line set at 1.5. Grisham has struggled to find his groove lately, with just a.220 batting average over the past month, and against high-caliber pitching, he’s often been held in check. Tonight, he faces a Yankees’ rotation that has tightened up at home, yielding a mere.240 batting average against, bolstered by their solid bullpen. Furthermore, with New York's depth in their lineup, Grisham may find himself seeing fewer pitches to hit, especially in crucial situations where he'd typically look to capitalize. With the model predicting an output closer to 0.86 total bases, betting the under seems prudent. Given his recent performances and the Yankees’ pitching prowess, it’s hard to see Grisham reaching that 1.5 mark tonight.
JJ Wetherholt Under 1.5 Total Bases (-169)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As we dive into Wednesday's clash between the Yankees and Cardinals, keep an eye on JJ Wetherholt's total bases. His recent form shows a tendency to struggle against right-handed pitching, and with the Yankees sending their ace to the mound, it’s a tough ask for him to rack up the extra bases. The Yankees’ bullpen has been stingy, limiting opponents to a mere.230 average over the past month. Plus, Wetherholt has faced off against elite pitchers and often finds himself in tight spots, which could stifle his chances of finding gaps. With the Yankees playing at home and boasting a solid defense, Wetherholt being held under 1.5 total bases feels like a savvy play. The odds are stacked in favor of the under here, making it a compelling choice for those looking to sharpen their betting strategy as the season heats up.
Heliot Ramos (SFG) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-182)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Yankees host the Cardinals, all eyes will be on Heliot Ramos, but I’m leaning towards the 'Under 1.5' total bases for him tonight. While Ramos has shown flashes of potential this season, he’s been facing a formidable Yankees pitching staff, known for their ability to neutralize right-handed hitters. Recent trends reveal that Ramos has struggled against power pitchers, and with the Yankees’ bullpen standing strong, he may find it tough to break through. The numbers back this up, as he’s consistently come up short in similar matchups. Moreover, the Yankees have been on a tear lately, boasting a solid 2.90 ERA over their last ten games. With the stakes high and the pressure mounting, I expect Ramos to finish under the mark tonight. Don't be surprised if he spends more time on the bench than at the plate in this competitive showdown.
That is the whole read. Every leg above is our own number against the price on the board at the time we wrote this, and the price can move before you get on. Bet what you can afford to lose. If betting stops being fun, take a break.
