The bet on CJ Abrams for under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is a good choice based on his recent performance data. Over his last five games, his overall average for stolen bases is 0.4, which is below the line of 0.5.

Additionally, his current hit streak is zero, both overall and in away games, which could potentially limit his opportunities for stealing bases. Therefore, the statistical data indicates a high probability of Abrams staying under 0.5 stolen bases in the upcoming game.
