Nolan Schanuel (NA) Under 3.5 Hits (-250)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Angels prepare to face the Padres, all eyes are on Nolan Schanuel’s bat. While he’s shown flashes of brilliance, recently, he’s been more of a streaky player than a consistent force at the plate. In his last few outings, Schanuel has struggled against right-handed pitchers, and with San Diego trotting out their ace, who boasts a strong strikeout rate, the odds of him surpassing 3.5 hits look slim. The Padres' pitching staff has been stifling, especially against left-handed hitters, and they’re known for their ability to induce weak contact. With Schanuel facing this tough lineup, it’s hard to envision him stringing together multiple hits today. Given his recent performance and the formidable challenge on the mound, the under on Schanuel’s hits feels like the prudent play. It’s a classic case of quality pitching overpowering potential, making for a compelling reason to lean toward the under.

Nolan Schanuel (NA) Under 3.5 Singles (-400)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Angels and Padres clash on April 19, 2026, all eyes will be on Nolan Schanuel, particularly in the batter singles market. While Schanuel has shown flashes of brilliance this season, recent trends suggest he may struggle against the Padres' pitching staff. San Diego's bullpen has tightened considerably, boasting one of the lowest batting averages against in the league over the past month. Schanuel's recent performances reveal a dip in his ability to consistently connect for singles, especially against right-handed pitchers, which the Padres are likely to feature. With an implied probability of 80% landing under 3.5 singles, there’s a strong case that Schanuel will find it tough to navigate through a resilient San Diego defense. Considering both his matchup history and the current form of the Padres' arms, betting on him to finish under 3.5 singles feels like the prudent move in this enticing matchup.

Luis Campusano (NA) Under 2.5 Walks (-1667)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Angels host the Padres, all eyes will be on Luis Campusano, but I'm leaning toward the under on his walks prop set at 2.5. Looking at Campusano's recent performance, he’s been aggressive at the plate, which has seen him draw just a handful of walks. In fact, he has averaged less than one walk per game lately, and with the Angels' ace on the mound, it’s likely he’ll face a steady diet of strikes. The Padres have struggled against right-handed pitching, ranking near the bottom of the league in drawing walks. Add in the Angels' recent trend of limiting free passes, and it paints a clear picture. With a statistician’s edge on this one, I foresee Campusano staying under that 2.5 mark, making the under the smart play in this matchup.
