The legs, one at a time

Jose Altuve (HOU) Under 2.5 Walks (-588)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Astros face off against the Padres, all eyes will be on Jose Altuve, particularly in the walks department. Despite his stellar reputation as an offensive powerhouse, recent trends suggest he might struggle to draw free passes today. Altuve has averaged just over one walk per game lately, and the Padres' pitching staff has been surprisingly effective in keeping hitters off balance. They boast a solid strikeout rate while limiting walks, throwing Altuve into a mix where he may be more inclined to swing than take. Given that he’s been more aggressive at the plate, coupled with the Padres’ home advantage and effective bullpen, betting on Altuve to stay under 2.5 walks feels like a savvy move. With an implied probability of 85.5%, this bet aligns well with the current dynamics, making it a compelling play.

Isaac Paredes (TBR) Under 1.5 Doubles (-1667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As we dive into the matchup between the Padres and Astros, keep an eye on Isaac Paredes for the Batter Doubles market. Paredes has had a solid season, but the numbers tell a different story when it comes to doubles. He’s been hitting the ball well, but his doubles production has noticeably cooled off in recent weeks. Facing the Astros' pitching staff, particularly with their adept strikeout rate hovering around 25%, it becomes even trickier for him to find the gaps. Moreover, Paredes has seen a dip in hard contact percentage, which is critical for hitting doubles. The Padres are also up against a solid pitcher tonight, one who limits extra-base hits effectively. With a model prediction showing a mere 0.11 for doubles and an implied probability suggesting a strong likelihood of staying under 1.5, it’s hard to ignore this trend. Betting the under here feels like a smart play.

Jake Meyers (HOU) Under 1.5 Doubles (-1667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Padres gear up to face the Astros, all eyes will be on Jake Meyers, particularly in the doubles department. While Meyers has shown flashes of brilliance, he’s currently batting only.230 with a meager slugging percentage against right-handed pitchers—an area where the Padres excel with their solid rotation. San Diego’s pitching staff has been particularly stingy, allowing the fewest doubles in the league this season. Moreover, Meyers has struggled to find consistent contact lately, leading to fewer extra-base hits. With the stakes high and the Padres’ defense tightening up at home, the odds seem to favor a quiet afternoon for Meyers. Betting on him to stay under 1.5 doubles feels like a smart play here, especially given the Padres' recent form and Meyers' current struggles. It all points to a potential quiet day at the plate for the Astros’ outfielder.

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.
