Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Angels host the Braves, it’s worthwhile to look at Austin Riley’s recent performance, especially when considering the ‘Under 1.5 RBIs’ for him. While Riley is undoubtedly a powerful hitter, he’s been facing a tough stretch against left-handed pitching, and tonight he’ll contend with a savvy Angels lefty who has been especially effective in limiting damage.
The Braves’ offense has been a bit inconsistent lately, and they tend to rely on the long ball rather than driving in runs through small-ball tactics. With the Angels’ bullpen being solid in high-leverage situations, it’s likely that runs will be hard to come by. Plus, Riley’s RBI opportunities could dwindle if he finds himself hitting lower in the order, especially with how the Braves’ lineup has been shuffling. Given these factors, taking the ‘Under’ on 1.5 RBIs for Riley feels like a sharp play in this matchup.
