Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Ben Brown for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is a solid choice based on his consistent performance. His overall and away game averages for strikeouts are both 5.2, which is significantly higher than the line set at 2.5. This demonstrates his ability to consistently outperform the betting line. Brown's current hit streaks, both overall and away, further reinforce his strong performance. His average innings pitched, both overall and away, also support this bet as they indicate that he typically stays in the game long enough to achieve more than 2.5 strikeouts. The data suggests that Brown's performance is not heavily influenced by the game location, which is important as this game is an away game. Therefore, based on these statistics, betting on Brown to achieve over 2.5 strikeouts is a good choice.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Nico Hoerner for under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a sound choice based on his recent performance data. Over the last five games, Hoerner's average stolen bases, both overall and away, is 0. This indicates that he has not been successful in stealing bases recently, reducing the likelihood of him achieving a stolen base in the upcoming game. Furthermore, his average caught stealing (Cs) rate is 0.2, suggesting that even when he attempts to steal, there is a chance he could be caught. Despite his impressive hitting streak, this does not directly correlate to stolen bases. Therefore, the data suggests that it is statistically unlikely for Hoerner to steal a base in the upcoming game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
