Chicago White Sox vs Pittsburgh Pirates: Lake Bachar Under 2.5 Pitcher - Strikeouts (-154)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Lake Bachar is facing a tough challenge against the Chicago White Sox lineup, which has been scoring about 1.3 runs more than the Pirates over the last 12 games. The White Sox have also shown they can hit left-handed pitchers well, with a batting average that matches the league average against them. This puts Bachar in a tricky spot, especially since he might struggle to get those strikeouts.
While Bachar has a chance to do well, the risk is that he could be up against a lineup that typically performs better against lefties. With the White Sox hitting strong, betting on him to get fewer than 2.5 strikeouts seems like a wise pick. It's a solid bet based on how both teams are playing right now.
