Cole Young (NA) Under 1.5 Hits (-222)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Nationals prepare to face the Mariners, all eyes should be on Cole Young. While he’s flashed potential, recent trends tell a different story. Young has struggled to find consistent contact, especially against right-handed pitchers, and with the Nationals likely starting a formidable righty, he's bound to face some challenges at the plate.
Digging deeper, Young's recent performance reveals a concerning trend: he’s averaged just 0.68 hits in his last several outings. Add to that the Nationals' impressive pitching depth, particularly their ability to limit opposing hitters’ effectiveness, and the under on Young’s hits becomes increasingly appealing. With an implied probability hovering around 69%, it’s hard to ignore the data suggesting that Young might not find the gaps today. For those looking to capitalize on a potential underperformance, laying down a bet on under 1.5 hits for Cole Young could be a savvy move.
