Philadelphia Phillies vs Houston Astros: Yordan Alvarez Under 1.5 Batter - Total Bases (-145)
Odds available at DraftKings at time of publishing
Yordan Alvarez has been a solid player this season, but his numbers suggest he might struggle today. He averages around 3 at-bats per game at Citizens Bank Park, but his recent performance shows he's been a bit off, with his expected hitting numbers being lower than what he usually produces. That makes it tough to see him getting more than one total base against the Phillies.
The Phillies have been strong lately, scoring 1.4 runs more than their opponents over the last 12 games. They also match up well against left-handed hitters, and Alvarez might find it hard to break through today. This matchup is tight, so while the bet on Alvarez going under 1.5 total bases feels solid, remember he could always surprise us.
