Andrew Heaney (PIT) Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-333)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Andrew Heaney for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is a strong choice based on his recent performance data. Heaney's last five overall games show an average of five strikeouts per game, which is significantly higher than the line of 2.5. Even when playing away, his strikeout average is 3.2, still above the line. His performance against the Royals specifically is even more impressive, averaging 7.5 strikeouts. Furthermore, Heaney is currently on a hit streak, with three overall and one away, indicating he's in good form. Though his innings pitched and outs averages are lower when playing away and against the Royals, they don't detract from his strong strikeout averages. These statistics suggest a high likelihood of Heaney achieving over 2.5 strikeouts in the upcoming game.
Maikel Garcia (KCR) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-556)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The under 0.5 bet for Maikel Garcia's stolen bases is statistically sound. Looking at his performance data, his last five overall stolen base average is 0.4, which is under the line of 0.5. This trend is even more pronounced in home games, where his stolen base average drops to 0.2. Moreover, when playing against the Pittsburgh Pirates, his stolen base average is 0.6, but his home stolen base average against them is zero. Coupled with his current hit streak being zero overall and only 2 at home, the chances of him stealing a base are low. Furthermore, the average caught stealing (Cs) rates further support this bet. His overall and home Cs averages are both 0.4 and 0.2 respectively, suggesting a higher risk in attempting steals. Hence, the under 0.5 bet is a reasonable choice.
Bobby Witt Jr. (KCR) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-588)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Bobby Witt Jr. for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a good choice due to his recent performance data. Over his last five games, Witt Jr. has an average stolen base rate of 0.4, both overall and at home, indicating he typically does not steal more than half a base per game. Furthermore, when facing the Pittsburgh Pirates, Witt Jr.'s stolen base average drops to zero. His overall current hit streak is also at zero, suggesting he might struggle to get on base to even attempt a steal. Additionally, the average caught stealing (Cs) rates are low, meaning there is not a high risk of him getting caught if he attempts to steal. All these factors suggest that it's statistically unlikely for Witt Jr. to steal a base in this game, making the Under 0.5 bet a solid choice.
