As the Pirates take on the Brewers, all eyes will be on William Contreras, but a closer look at the matchup reveals a compelling case for the under on his hits. The Pirates' pitching staff has been formidable, especially at home, posting a stingy 3.50 ERA over the last month. They’ve consistently kept opposing hitters off balance with their mix of sliders and changeups, and Contreras might struggle against their lefty-heavy lineup. Moreover, Contreras has faced right-handers with limited success lately, managing just over half his at-bats without reaching base. With the Brewers’ offense struggling to find its rhythm, there's a strong likelihood of him being contained. Given the recent trends and the Pirates' ability to stifle opposing bats, it's reasonable to expect Contreras to finish under 1.5 hits, making this a savvy play for bettors looking to capitalize on the current dynamics of this matchup.
Jake Mangum (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-179)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Pirates gear up to face the Brewers on July 10, Jake Mangum’s recent form has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Over the past couple of weeks, he’s been mired in a slump, hitting just .230 against right-handers, with a tendency to struggle against quality pitching. The Brewers’ starter has been solid, showcasing a strikeout rate that could keep Mangum off base. Additionally, the Pirates have seen a dip in overall offensive production lately, especially against teams with strong bullpens like Milwaukee's. When you factor in the dynamic of PNC Park, which often suppresses extra-base hits, taking the under on Mangum’s total bases looks enticing. The model suggests he’s likely to remain below the 1.5 mark, making this a prudent play as the matchup unfolds. Expect Mangum to face a tough challenge tonight, likely resulting in fewer chances at the plate.
Nick Gonzales (NA) Under 1.5 Total Bases (-200)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Pirates gear up to host the Brewers, all eyes will be on Nick Gonzales, who’s been a bit of a mixed bag at the plate lately. While he has flashes of brilliance, his recent performance suggests he might struggle against a tough Milwaukee pitching staff that has been stifling opposing hitters. The Brewers' rotation, especially with their top arms, has been adept at limiting damage, allowing just a .230 batting average against over the last month. Gonzales has been prone to hitting slumps, and with his current form, it wouldn’t be surprising if he falls short of that 1.5 total bases mark. In fact, models project him to finish around one total base tonight. With the Pirates leaning on their pitchers, it’s a good bet to consider the ‘Under’ on Gonzales—especially in a game where scoring might be at a premium.
