Jameson Taillon (CHC) Over 2.5 Hits Allowed (-769)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Jameson Taillon for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed market is a solid choice based on his recent performance. Taillon has consistently allowed an average of 5 hits in his last five games overall and against the Detroit Tigers. Moreover, when playing away, his hits allowed average increases to 6. This trend is further reinforced by his current hit streaks – 6 overall and an impressive 23 when playing away. His innings pitched (IP) averages also indicate he typically stays in the game long enough (over 5 innings) to allow more than 2.5 hits. Therefore, considering Taillon's recent performances and his tendency to allow more hits when playing away, it is statistically likely that he will allow over 2.5 hits in the upcoming game against the Detroit Tigers.
Detroit Tigers vs Chicago Cubs : Over 0.5 alternate_team_totals (-3333)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on the Chicago Cubs to score over 0.5 runs is a solid choice based on their recent offensive performance. In their last five games, the Cubs have averaged 6.8 runs overall and 5.6 runs in away games, well over the 0.5 run line. Additionally, their average batting hits are 10.6 overall and 10.2 in away games, suggesting that they consistently generate opportunities to score. While the Detroit Tigers have a decent defensive record, allowing an average of 1.8 runs in their last five games, the Cubs' offensive strength is likely to overcome this. The Cubs have also won more games against the Tigers recently (3-2), indicating a favorable matchup. Therefore, based on these statistics, it's reasonable to expect the Cubs to score at least one run in this game.

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
This bet is chosen based on the high run scoring ability of the Chicago Cubs, who have averaged 6.8 runs in their last 5 games overall and 5.6 runs in their last 5 away games. In contrast, the Detroit Tigers have allowed an average of 1.8 runs in their last 5 games, suggesting that the Cubs should be able to score comfortably. Additionally, the Cubs have hit an average of 2.2 home runs per game recently, further boosting their run-scoring potential. The Tigers have also managed to score an average of 2.8 runs in their last 5 home games, which when combined with the Cubs' average runs, comfortably exceeds the total runs line of 5. This strong offensive performance from both teams suggests a high likelihood of the total runs exceeding 5, making the 'Over 5' bet a good choice.
