Kyle Freeland (COL) Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-263)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Kyle Freeland's recent performance data supports the Over 2.5 strikeouts bet. Averaging 3.8 strikeouts in his last five games overall and at home, he consistently surpasses the 2.5 line. Against the Dodgers, his strikeout average increases to 4.8, further bolstering confidence in the bet. His innings pitched (IP) average of 5.1 overall and 5 at home indicates he typically plays long enough to secure more than 2.5 strikeouts. Even his lowest average, the 5 innings pitched at home, provides ample opportunity to exceed the line. Furthermore, his outs average is consistently above 15, suggesting a high level of performance. Despite his current hit streak being zero, his strikeout, innings pitched, and outs averages provide a solid statistical foundation for the Over 2.5 strikeouts bet.

Tyler Freeman (COL) Under 1.5 Hits (-263)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Tyler Freeman for Under 1.5 in the Batter Hits market is a solid choice, based on his recent performance data. Over his last five games, Freeman's overall hits average is just 0.2, with a similar average at home. His plate appearance averages are also low, with 2.8 overall and 2 at home. Even when facing the Dodgers, his hits average only increases marginally to 0.3. Despite his impressive overall and home hit streaks, the low hit and plate appearance averages indicate that he's not getting on base frequently. This, combined with the fact that he's playing at home where his performance has been weaker, makes it statistically likely that he will score under 1.5 hits in the upcoming game.

Spencer Strider (ATL) Over 3.5 Hits Allowed (-278)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Spencer Strider for Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed market is backed by his recent performance data. Over his last five games, Strider's average Hits Allowed, both overall and at home, exceed the line set for this bet. His overall Hits Allowed average is 5.6, and at home, it's 4.8. Against the Chicago White Sox, his Hits Allowed average jumps to 8. This suggests a pattern of allowing a high number of hits, particularly against this opponent. Furthermore, his current hit streak, both overall and at home, indicates a recent trend of allowing hits. Therefore, based on Strider's past performance and current trend, betting Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed market is a statistically sound choice.

Will Smith (LAD) Under 1.5 Hits (-175)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The under 1.5 hits bet for Will Smith is a solid choice based on his recent performance data. Smith's last five games' average hits, both overall and away, are below the line of 1.5. His overall average hits are 1, while his away average drops to 0.6 and 0.8, respectively. His plate appearances also decrease in away games (3.6 and 4.6), which could limit his opportunities to hit. Furthermore, Smith's current hit streak is zero, both overall and away, indicating a recent slump in his performance. Although his average hits against the Rockies is slightly below the line (1.4), his reduced effectiveness in away games makes the under bet a logical choice.

His current overall hit streak stands at nine games, demonstrating a strong, consistent performance. Even against the Mariners, his hit average is 0.8, which is higher than the bet line.
