Maikel Garcia (KCR) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-345)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Betting on Maikel Garcia for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a good choice, as the statistics suggest a low likelihood of Garcia stealing a base in this game. His recent performance indicates a low average of stolen bases, especially when playing at home. His last five overall stolen base average is 0.4, which decreases to 0.2 when at home. Furthermore, when playing against the Oakland Athletics, his stolen base average remains low at 0.2. This suggests that Garcia's performance does not tend to improve against this specific opponent. Additionally, his current hit streak is zero, indicating a recent lack of opportunities to steal bases. Therefore, based on Garcia's performance data, the probability of him stealing a base in this game is low, making the Under 0.5 bet a statistically sound choice.
Jeffrey Springs (ATH) Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-455)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Jeffrey Springs for Over 2.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is a solid choice based on his recent performance data. His overall strikeout average in the last five games is 4.6, which is significantly higher than the bet's line of 2.5. Even when playing away, his strikeout average remains strong at 5.6. His innings pitched and outs averages, both overall and away, also suggest that he consistently stays in the game long enough to achieve the required strikeouts. Despite a lower average against the Royals, his current overall and away hit streaks indicate a consistent performance. Therefore, based on these statistics, betting on Springs to exceed 2.5 strikeouts is a statistically sound decision.
Matt Wallner (MIN) Over 0.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-169)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Matt Wallner for Over 0.5 in the Batter Hits Runs Rbis market is a strong choice based on his recent performance and specific success against the Houston Astros. Wallner's overall average in hits over the last five games is 0.8, already above the line set for this bet. Most notably, his average against the Astros specifically is significantly higher at 1.4, indicating a strong track record when facing this opponent. Furthermore, he's currently on a three-game hit streak overall, showing a consistent level of performance. Although his away game averages and current away hit streak are slightly lower, his recent overall and opponent-specific stats indicate a high probability of achieving over 0.5 in the Batter Hits Runs Rbis market.
Bobby Witt Jr. (KCR) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-323)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Betting on Bobby Witt Jr. for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a strong choice considering his recent performance data. Witt Jr.'s last five games show an average of 0.4 stolen bases, both overall and at home, which is less than the line of 0.5. Furthermore, when facing the Oakland Athletics, his stolen base average drops to zero. Additionally, his current hit streak is zero, suggesting a dip in form that could impact his ability to get on base and attempt a steal. Meanwhile, the absence of caught stealings (Cs) in the recent games indicates that Witt Jr. is not taking many risks on the bases, further supporting the Under 0.5 bet. This analysis suggests a lower likelihood of Witt Jr. achieving a stolen base in the upcoming game.
Max Fried (NYY) Over 0.5 Walks Allowed (-556)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
The bet on Max Fried for Over 0.5 in the Pitcher Walks Allowed market is statistically sound due to his recent performance data. In his last five games, Fried has averaged 1.4 walks per game overall, and 0.8 walks in away games. This suggests that even when playing away, Fried is likely to allow at least one walk. Furthermore, his performance against the Boston Red Sox specifically also supports this bet. In his last five games against this team, Fried has averaged 1 walk per game. Additionally, his current hit streaks, both overall (2) and away (1), indicate a consistent pattern of allowing hits, which can often lead to walks. Thus, the data suggests a high probability that Fried will allow over 0.5 walks in the upcoming game against the Red Sox.
Jeffrey Springs (ATH) Over 2.5 Strikeouts (-526)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
Jeffrey Springs has been performing well recently, particularly when playing away games. His last five away games show an average of 5.6 strikeouts, more than double the line set for this bet. Furthermore, his overall strikeout average in the last five games is 4.6, again comfortably above the line. His innings pitched and outs averages also suggest he's consistently on the mound long enough to achieve over 2.5 strikeouts. In addition, Springs is on a 20-game hit streak overall and a 13-game hit streak in away games, indicating a consistency in his performance. While his average strikeouts against the Royals is slightly lower, his current form suggests he can exceed this. Therefore, the bet on Springs to achieve over 2.5 strikeouts in this game is well-supported by recent performance data.
