Wilyer Abreu Over 0.5 RBI (+130)
Abreu finished sixth in AL Rookie voting last year and earned a Gold Glove. This season, he has homered exclusively against right-handers and has driven in most of his RBIs likewise. Although his June stats show some decline, he has recorded an RBI in four of the last five games he has played. If you are considering placing a bet, BetMGM is recommended for the best odds.
Zachary Neto Over 1.5 total bases (+115)
Neto’s performance has recently improved, with a total of eight bases from his last two games. He has registered a total of 114 bases during 59 games this season, achieving over this mark in 50% of his starts. Notably, Buehler’s high ERA presents an opportunity for Neto to excel.
