Nico Hoerner (CHC) Under 0.5 Doubles (-625)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Guardians take on the Cubs this Sunday, all eyes should be on Nico Hoerner and his ability to find gaps against Cleveland’s strong pitching. While Hoerner has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent performance suggests he might struggle to register a double today. The Guardians' pitching staff has been on fire lately, boasting a stellar 2.95 ERA over their last ten games, making it tough for hitters to find extra bases.
Additionally, Hoerner’s batting average is solid, but he’s only managed to hit a double in a scant few games recently, which raises concerns about him breaking through against a lineup that specializes in limiting extra-base hits. With an implied probability of 86.2% that he won't clear 0.5 doubles, betting the under feels like a smart play. Keep an eye on how the Guardians’ hurlers handle him; they might just keep him in check today.
