Baltimore Orioles vs Cleveland Guardians: Leody Taveras Under 0.5 Batter - Hits (+117)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Leody Taveras has been struggling when facing left-handed pitchers, averaging less than a hit in games after night games. The Baltimore Orioles have a solid record against lefties, while the Cleveland Guardians have not been able to hit them well this season. With Taveras's numbers showing he has more outs than hits in these specific matchups, the odds look promising for this bet.
The Guardians have only managed to score less than the league average against lefties, which puts Taveras in a tough spot today. He averages fewer plate appearances in day games right after night games, and that could mean fewer chances to get a hit. This makes the bet on Taveras getting under half a hit a smart choice, even if it's not a sure thing.
