St. Louis Cardinals vs Washington Nationals : Over 1.5 alternate_team_totals (-833)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The St. Louis Cardinals are projected to score over 1.5 runs based on their recent performance. They have averaged 4.2 runs per game in their last five games overall and 3.6 runs per game in their last five home games. This is well above the 1.5 line set for this game. Additionally, the Cardinals have a strong record against the Washington Nationals, winning 4 of their last 5 matchups. On the defensive side, the Nationals have allowed an average of 3.7 runs per game in their last five games, both overall and away, indicating that their defense may struggle to keep the Cardinals' scoring in check. Furthermore, the Cardinals' batting average is higher at home, averaging 8.4 hits per game. This suggests they are more likely to score runs when playing at home.
Jacob Young (WSN) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-769)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Jacob Young for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a good choice based on his recent performance data. Young's last five games show a low average of stolen bases, both overall (0.2) and when playing away (0.2). Even when considering his performance against the specific opponent, the St. Louis Cardinals, his stolen bases average is still under 0.5 (0.4). Furthermore, Young's current hit streak is not particularly high, standing at 2 overall and just 1 for away games. This suggests he may not be on the base paths often enough to attempt a steal. The lack of caught stealing instances also indicates he may not be taking many risks on the base paths. All these factors combined make the Under 0.5 bet a statistically sound choice.
St. Louis Cardinals vs Washington Nationals : Over 5.5 Total Runs (-417)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The 'Over 5.5' Total Runs bet for the St. Louis Cardinals vs Washington Nationals game is a solid choice based on the teams' scoring and defensive records. The Cardinals have a strong record against the Nationals, with 4 wins in their last 5 encounters, indicating their ability to score against this opponent. The Cardinals' average runs scored at home (3.6) and the Nationals' average runs allowed away (3.7) already add up to 7.3, which is above the line of 5.5. Furthermore, the Cardinals' strong batting average at home (8.4) suggests a high scoring potential. The Nationals' lower away batting average (4.4) and home runs (0.2) could be compensated by the Cardinals' higher average runs allowed at home (1.4). Therefore, the combined offensive and defensive stats suggest a high likelihood of total runs exceeding 5.5.
