Milwaukee Brewers vs Chicago Cubs: Luis Lara Under 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (-185)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Luis Lara has been facing left-handed pitchers recently, and the numbers show he might not have a big game today. At American Family Field, he averages just 1.1 singles and 1.2 hits across ten games. The Brewers have been steady, but they're up against a Cubs team that has been hitting well against lefties, which could make it tricky for Lara to find his rhythm.
Betting on Lara to get under 1.5 total bases seems smart based on how he's performed lately. The most concrete risk here is that the Cubs' lineup could put pressure on him, and he might not get enough good opportunities to hit. While he's capable of surprising us, the odds suggest this is a solid pick.
