Max Fried (NYY) Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-357)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Max Fried for Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts (Alternate) market is a solid choice based on his recent performance data. Fried's last five overall and away games show an average of six and 6.2 strikeouts respectively, both well above the 3.5 line. Even more compelling, Fried's average rises to eight strikeouts in his last five games against this specific opponent, the Toronto Blue Jays. This indicates that Fried tends to perform particularly well against this team. Additionally, his average innings pitched in all contexts (overall, away, and against the Blue Jays) exceed six, showing that he typically stays in the game long enough to secure a high number of strikeouts. Despite his current hit streak being zero, his historical performance makes a compelling case for this bet.

Kerry Carpenter (DET) Under 4.5 Total Bases (-345)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The under 4.5 bet on Kerry Carpenter is justified by his recent performance data. Carpenter's last five games show an average of only 1.6 hits, with minimal extra base hits, indicating a low total base count. Specifically, on away games, his hits average is 1.4, with his double, triple, and home run averages all being 0.2 or less. This suggests that even when he hits, he's not often achieving multiple bases. Furthermore, against the Mariners, his hits average drops to 0.8, further supporting the under bet. Even though he is on a 7-game hit streak, his low base count per hit and lower performance against the Mariners make the under 4.5 total bases a statistically sound bet.

Kerry Carpenter (DET) Under 4.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-286)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The under 4.5 bet for Kerry Carpenter in the Batter Hits Runs Rbis market is a good choice based on his recent performance statistics. Over the last five games, Carpenter's average hits, runs, and RBIs have been relatively low. His overall average for hits, runs, and RBIs is 2.4, while his away game average is 2.2. When playing against the Seattle Mariners, these averages drop even further to 1.6. Despite his impressive away hit streak, the numbers suggest that his contributions to hits, runs, and RBIs are unlikely to exceed 4.5 in the upcoming game. This trend, coupled with the fact that the game is an away match for Carpenter, where he traditionally performs slightly worse, makes the under 4.5 bet a statistically sound choice.

Jesus Luzardo (PHI) Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Jesus Luzardo for Under 6.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is backed by the performance data. Luzardo's last five home games show an average of only 5 strikeouts, which is considerably less than the line set at 6.5. This suggests that he is less likely to exceed the line when playing at home. Additionally, despite averaging 7 strikeouts against the Dodgers, Luzardo's overall current hit streak is zero, indicating a recent dip in performance. The data also shows that Luzardo averages 6.2 innings per game at home, which limits his opportunities to achieve more strikeouts. Considering these factors, the bet on Luzardo to have less than 6.5 strikeouts is statistically sound.

Jesus Luzardo (PHI) Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-143)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The under 6.5 strikeouts bet for Jesus Luzardo is a solid choice given his recent performance data. Particularly, Luzardo's strikeout average at home is notably lower than his overall average, with an average of 5 strikeouts in his last five home games compared to a 7.2 overall average. This suggests that Luzardo's performance tends to dip when pitching at home. Furthermore, his innings pitched and outs averages remain consistent across home and overall games, indicating that the lower strikeout rate at home is not due to fewer opportunities but likely a result of the home environment itself. Finally, his current home hit streak is only at 1, indicating a recent struggle in maintaining high strikeout numbers at home. These factors combined make the under 6.5 strikeouts bet a statistically sound choice for Luzardo's upcoming game.

Jesus Luzardo (PHI) Over 1.5 Earned Runs (-164)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Betting on Jesus Luzardo for Over 1.5 in the Pitcher Earned Runs market is a good choice based on his recent performance data. Luzardo's average earned runs at home in the last five games is 2.6, which is higher than the line of 1.5. This indicates that when playing at home, Luzardo tends to allow more than 1.5 earned runs. Moreover, despite his overall earned run average being 1.4, his home average is significantly higher, further supporting the bet. Additionally, Luzardo's average innings pitched at home is 6.2, giving ample opportunity for the opposition to score more than 1.5 runs. Although his performance against the Dodgers has been better, with a 1 earned run average, his home statistics suggest a higher probability of conceding over 1.5 runs.
