Cooper Pratt (NA) Under 1.5 Walks (-1429)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Giants prepare to host the Brewers, all eyes should be on Cooper Pratt when considering the walks market. Pratt has been struggling to find his rhythm lately, averaging only 0.5 walks over his last ten games. The Giants’ pitching staff, particularly their starters, has been relentless, boasting a walk rate that ranks among the lowest in the league. With their ability to control the strike zone, opposing batters are finding it tough to draw free passes. Moreover, the Brewers' recent offensive trends have shown a similar pattern, as they’ve been swinging aggressively and making contact more often. When combined with Pratt's current struggles and the Giants' impressive ability to limit walks, it looks highly probable that he’ll remain under 1.5 walks. With the odds heavily favoring this outcome, betting the under here offers a compelling opportunity to capitalize on the matchup dynamics.

Grant McCray (NA) Under 2.5 RBIs (-1000)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Giants prepare to face off against the Brewers, all eyes will be on Grant McCray and his quest for RBIs. However, the under on 2.5 RBIs for him feels like a savvy pick here. McCray has shown flashes of brilliance, but he’s often faced formidable pitchers, and today’s matchup against Milwaukee’s Chris Sale could stifle his chances. Sale's experience and capability to keep runs at bay have been pivotal lately, with the Brewers allowing just a handful of RBIs to opposing hitters. Moreover, the Giants' lineup has been inconsistent, struggling to string together hits with runners in scoring position. They've averaged just two runs per game over their last few outings, making it tough for any single player to rack up RBIs. Given these trends and the statistical backing leaning towards the under, McCray finding success today might be more challenging than anticipated. It's time to lean on the under for this one.

Willy Adames (SFG) Under 1.5 Walks (-667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Giants host the Brewers on July 29, all eyes should be on Willy Adames and his propensity for walks. Adames has been a solid contributor for Milwaukee, but lately, he’s been more about making contact than drawing walks. In fact, he’s averaging less than one walk per game this season, and with San Francisco’s pitchers showing a knack for keeping hitters off balance, the chances of him walking are slim. The Giants’ staff has been particularly tough on right-handed bats, limiting opposing players to a mere 7.8% walk rate. Combine that with Adames’s recent trend of swinging early and often, and you can see why the ‘Under’ on 1.5 walks is tempting. With the Brewers’ playoff push heating up, Adames will likely be more aggressive at the plate, making it hard to envision him taking a stroll to first base today. Look for the Giants' pitching to keep him in check.
