Cody Bellinger (NA) Over 0.5 batter_hits_runs_rbis_alternate (-213)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Phillies prepare to face off against the Yankees, all eyes will be on Cody Bellinger, who’s been heating up at the plate lately. With a recent surge in form, Bellinger has consistently found ways to get on base, racking up hits and driving in runs. The Yankees’ pitching staff has had its share of struggles, particularly against left-handed hitters, and Bellinger thrives in these matchups. The Phillies, known for their explosive offense, are likely to create plenty of scoring opportunities, which should benefit Bellinger’s chances of registering at least one hit or RBI. Given that he's been averaging over two total bases per game recently and the Yankees’ pitchers have allowed a .270 batting average to lefties, it feels like a prime spot for Bellinger to break through. Betting on him to go over 0.5 hits or RBIs seems not just plausible, but almost inevitable in this scenario.

Amed Rosario (CLE) Under 0.5 Hits (+109)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Phillies host the Yankees, all eyes will be on Amed Rosario, but I see a struggle ahead for him at the plate. Rosario has been in a rut lately, with a disheartening trend of three hits across his last 40 at-bats. Facing an elite Yankees rotation, led by a pitcher who dominates right-handed batters, the odds are stacked against him. The Yankees’ pitching staff has shown remarkable prowess, allowing a mere .230 batting average against them, and they thrive on inducing weak contact and strikeouts. As Rosario steps into the box, he’ll likely find himself overmatched against a fastball that’s consistently hitting the upper 90s. Given Rosario’s recent form and the Yankees' formidable pitching, betting on him to finish the game without a hit feels like the right call. It's a classic case of a player out of sync against a tough opponent—let's take the 'under' here.

Gabriel Rincones Jr. (NA) Over 0.5 batter_hits_runs_rbis_alternate (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Phillies prepare to host the Yankees, all eyes should be on Gabriel Rincones Jr., who has been quietly making waves at the plate. With his recent surge, Rincones has consistently found ways to contribute in multi-hit performances. Over the past couple of weeks, he’s hitting nearly .300, showing an impressive ability to get on base against both lefties and righties. The Yankees' pitching staff, while formidable, has shown vulnerability against left-handed hitters, which bodes well for Rincones’ chances of coming through. The game’s atmosphere is electric, with a packed crowd at Citizens Bank Park—perfect for fueling a young player’s momentum. Given his current form and the Yankees’ recent struggles with consistent pitching, betting on Rincones to notch over 0.5 hits, runs, or RBIs feels like a smart play. He’s primed to make an impact, and this matchup could provide the perfect stage for him to shine.
