The rationale for betting on Pete Crow-Armstrong for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is rooted in his recent performance data. His last five games show an average of only 0.2 stolen bases, both overall and at home. This is half the line set for the bet, indicating a low likelihood of him stealing more than 0.5 bases in the upcoming game. Furthermore, his current hit streak stands at just 1 overall, and 2 at home, suggesting his recent batting performance isn't providing ample opportunities for stolen bases. Additionally, the opposing team's catcher has an average of 0.2 caught stealing, adding another layer of difficulty for Crow-Armstrong to achieve over 0.5 stolen bases. This data suggests that the Under 0.5 bet is a statistically sound choice.

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

Matt McLain's recent performance stats make the under 0.5 stolen bases bet a solid choice. His last five games show an average of only 0.2 stolen bases overall and when playing away. This indicates he is not likely to steal more than 0.5 bases in the upcoming game. Furthermore, McLain's average against the Chicago Cubs is only slightly higher at 0.4 stolen bases, still under our line. His current hit streak, both overall and away, stands at just 1, suggesting that his form isn't particularly strong at this time. Moreover, the lack of caught stealing (Cs) instances in the last five games indicates that McLain isn't attempting many steals, further supporting the under 0.5 bet. Based on these stats, it's statistically unlikely for McLain to steal more than 0.5 bases in the upcoming game.
