Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Cincinnati Reds
- Leg 1: Elly De La Cruz Over 1.5 Total Bases (-125)
- Leg 2: JJ Bleday Over 1.5 Total Bases (+105)
- Leg 3: Nathaniel Lowe Over 1.5 Total Bases (+140)
The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to pitch Mitch Keller today. The right-hander has been absolutely awful against lefties, allowing a .277 ISO and a wOBA of .399 to his last 70 lefties. Additionally, Keller has struck out just 14.3% of lefties and has allowed over 36% of line drives to lefties during the last month.
Meanwhile, Elly De La Cruz has a .216 ISO and a wOBA of .358 batting from the left side over the last 30 days. JJ Bleday has shown solid power against righties in the last month, too, adding a .182 ISO and a wOBA of .308 against his last 77 righties.
Finally, Nathaniel Lowe has socked a .216 ISO and a wOBA of .338 against his last 53 righties. He’s hit over 35% of fly balls against righties over the last month.
Let’s stack the Reds lefties against Keller today.
Parlay Odds: +700
Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros
- Leg 1: Yordan Alvarez Over 1.5 Total Bases (-140)
- Leg 2: Taylor Trammell Over 1.5 Total Bases (+190)
- Leg 3: Peter Lambert Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+125)
It’ll be Kumar Rocker for the Texas Rangers today. The righty has allowed a .222 ISO and a wOBA of .364 to his last 51 lefties. In that same span, he’s added just 17.6% of strikeouts and has allowed 50% hard contact, with over 41% of fly balls.
Rocker will face one of the best hitters in baseball in Yordan Alvarez. Ultimately, Alvarez has a .446 ISO and a wOBA of .578 against his last 79 righties. He’s got potential for another massive game against Kumar.
Taylor Trammell is another lefty heating up against righties. He’s hit a .212 ISO and a wOBA of .339 against his last 37 righties this season.
On the other hand, Peter Lambert is in line to start for the Astros. The righty has earned 28.9% of strikeouts over the last month. He has just a 23.3% strikeout rate this season, but it’s elevated recently. I’ll back the over on his strikeouts prop today since Texas has four players who have struck out at least 25% of the time against righties over the last 30 days.
