Casey Schmitt (SFG) Under 1.5 Doubles (-1250)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The rationale for betting on Casey Schmitt for Under 1.5 in the Batter Doubles market is strongly supported by his recent performance data. Over the last five games, Schmitt has averaged only 0.4 doubles, well below the 1.5 line. His overall hits average is also quite low at just 0.8. Even when playing at home, Schmitt's doubles average only increases slightly to 0.6, still significantly under the line. Furthermore, his performance against the Cardinals has been consistent with these averages, with a 0.4 doubles average in the last five games. Despite having a good hit streak, Schmitt's doubles production has been low. Therefore, the data suggests that it is highly unlikely Schmitt will hit over 1.5 doubles in the upcoming game against the Cardinals.

Brendan Donovan (STL) Under 1.5 Doubles (-2000)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Betting on Brendan Donovan for Under 1.5 in the Batter Doubles market is a statistically sound choice. Over his last five games, Donovan's batting average for doubles, both overall and away, is just 0.2. This means he's only hit one double every five games on average. Even when considering his performance against the Giants specifically, his doubles average is only slightly higher at 0.4. Despite a strong current hit streak, these hits aren't translating into doubles. His average hits per game are also consistent at one, both overall and away, indicating he's not typically hitting multiple times per game. Therefore, the likelihood of Donovan hitting more than one double in the upcoming game is statistically low, making the Under 1.5 bet a solid choice.

Lars Nootbaar (STL) Under 1.5 Walks (-345)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Lars Nootbaar for Under 1.5 in the Batter Walks market is a statistically sound choice given his recent performance data. Over the last five games, Nootbaar has averaged 0.6 walks per game, both overall and specifically when playing away. This indicates a consistent performance that is well below the line of 1.5. Additionally, his plate appearance average is 4.2, suggesting he has limited opportunities to exceed this line. Even when considering his performance against this specific opponent, his walks average remains at 0.6. Despite his commendable hit streaks, these do not directly correlate with an increase in walks. Therefore, based on Nootbaar's consistent low walk average, the bet for Under 1.5 in the Batter Walks market is a statistically informed choice.
