SUBSCRIBE TODAYThe Polar Bear went hitless yesterday, and you know what they say… don’t poke the bear. His hit prop is tempting.
Here’s why I pivoted to RBI:
Imagine having to face Dylan Cease (AL Cy Young Runner-Up) Opening Day; struggling to hit (collectively as a team); then seeing Lance Lynn the next day. He’s a savvy veteran, sure, but no Dylan Cease! I’d welcome the challenge if I were Houston and historically, they do.
In their last 3 meetings, Houston hammered Lynn for 21 earned runs (12.1 ERA). In his last 4 visits to Minute Maid Park, Lynn surrendered 4+ earned runs each time.
I considered Houston ML and Team Total but ultimately rolled the dice on Pena at plus money. Here’s why:
The X-man just got PAID ($280MM contract) and proved his worth going 3-for-4 with 2 doubles Opening Night.
That was against a Right-Handed Pitcher. Against Lefties, he’s even better. See his rankings last season:
Tonight’s lineups are still pending (at time of writing), but he’s expected to bat leadoff. If the rumors prove true, I absolutely love this price for Xander to record a hit.
Batting leadoff boosts his chances to get 5+ plate appearances (PA’s). 5+ PA’s helps balance the risk of Walks (the #1 hit prop killer). And having Manny Machado + Juan Soto lurking on-deck certainly won’t hurt (lowers his chances of walking and boosts his chances of seeing good pitches).
Even if he doesn’t bat leadoff, I like his chances to record a hit (just slightly less).
I got +765 for the parlay at DraftKings Sportsbook & risked 0.25 units! (to win 1.91u)
I also placed (and recommend) small straight bets (risk up to 0.5 units) on each prop, ya know… just in case!
