Alex Kolodziej’s Marlins vs Dodgers Prediction, Betting Analysis
Miami Marlins Player Prop: Value On Alcantara's Under
For the second game of the series between the Miami Marlins and the Los Angeles Dodgers, our top betting pick focuses on the performance of Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara.
Using data from our proprietary PRO Projections, which combines expert analysis and market comparisons, we see a notable opportunity in the betting market.
Specifically, the strikeout line set for Alcantara is 4.5, with the odds favoring the over (-125 at BetMGM).
However, our projections suggest a more conservative outing from the Miami ace. Specifically, we're projecting exactly 4.5 strikeouts for Alcantara.
Therefore, any plus-money price on under 4.5 strikeouts offers value.
Our experts have predicted a performance in line with recent trends, as Alcantara has failed to strike out more than four batters in each of his past four starts.
Remarkably, the only time he surpassed this threshold was in his season opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have one of the weaker offenses he's faced.
Moreover, the Dodgers' lineup has historically performed well against Alcantara.
Players like Mookie Betts and Max Muncy have impressive numbers against him, with batting averages of .462 and .353, respectively, each having hit two home runs.
Additionally, Will Smith boasts a .417 average across 12 at-bats, while Freddie Freeman maintains a .286 average over 28 at-bats.
Given these factors, betting the under on Alcantara's strikeouts not only aligns with our projections but also leverages the Dodgers' successful track record against him, making it a solid bet for Tuesday’s matchup.
