Andrew Abbott (CIN) Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-588)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Andrew Abbott for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is a solid choice based on his recent performance. His overall strikeout average in the last five games is 6.6, which is noticeably higher than the line set at 2.5. Even when considering his away game stats, Abbott's average remains above the line at 4.6 strikeouts. Furthermore, his overall and away game innings pitched averages (5.4 and 5.5 respectively) suggest he typically stays in the game long enough to achieve more than 2.5 strikeouts. Additionally, Abbott is on a 6-game hit streak overall and a 2-game hit streak in away games, indicating a consistent performance. Although his strikeouts against the Cardinals average lower at 3.6, this is still above the line. Overall, these statistics indicate a strong likelihood of Abbott achieving over 2.5 strikeouts.

Matt McLain (CIN) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-909)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Matt McLain for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a good choice based on his recent performance data. McLain's average stolen bases in the last five games, both overall and away, is only 0.2, which is significantly lower than the line of 0.5. Moreover, he has not stolen any bases in his last five games against the St. Louis Cardinals, further supporting the likelihood of him not stealing a base in this game. His current hit streak, both overall and away, is only one game. This indicates that his recent batting performance isn't strong enough to significantly increase his chances of stealing a base. Therefore, based on these statistics, it is statistically likely that McLain will steal fewer than 0.5 bases in this game.

Andrew Abbott (CIN) Over 0.5 Walks Allowed (-667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Andrew Abbott for Over 0.5 in the Pitcher Walks Allowed market is statistically sound given his recent performance. Abbott's average walks allowed over the last five games is 1.8 overall and 2.6 when playing away, both significantly higher than the line of 0.5. When facing the Cardinals, his walks allowed average increases to 3.2, further supporting the bet. Despite having an average innings pitched of 5.4 and outs average of 16.6, his high walk rates persist. His current hit streaks, both overall and away, do not negate his tendency to allow walks. Given these stats, it's highly probable Abbott will allow at least one walk in the game, making the Over 0.5 bet a promising choice.
