The reads behind them

Angle 1

Luis Garcia Jr. Under 1.5 Total Bases

-175at BetMGM

Luis Garcia Jr. has gone under 1.5 total bases in 64% of 148 games this season and 100% across the last ten. He faces Sonny Gray.

Sonny Gray carries a 2.72 ERA and a .236 average against over 169.0 innings.

The case against

The price is the weak part of this one, and the form read has to carry it at -175.

The last ten (100%) sits a long way from the season rate (64%), so this leans on a streak continuing rather than on a settled level.
