Katel Marte (Arizona)
Over 1.5 H+R+R (-165)
Under 1.5 H+R+R (+125)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Listen up, sports fans and betting enthusiasts, we've got a hot take backed by cold, hard stats. The Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte is on an upswing that's hard to ignore, and he's about to break some hearts in the City of Angels. Let's break it down - Marte is averaging 1.36 Hits + Runs + RBI per game this season. At home, he's solid with a 1.25 average, but on the road, the guy is straight-fire, putting up a 1.49 average. He's had more than 1.5 H+R+R in 28 games this season, and he's primed to add another notch to that belt when he faces the Angels.
But let's not stop there. In the last 20 games, Marte's been averaging 2.2 H+R+R and over the 1.5 mark in 12 contests. The previous ten games? Even better - he's up to a 2.4 average, crossing the 1.5 line in half of those games. The trend is clear - Marte's on the rise, and it's a mountainous ascent showing no signs of slowing down.
Now, I know what some of you skeptics think: "What about the last five games?" Marte's been a little slower off the mark, averaging 1.8, but he's still been over the 1.5 line in 2 of those games. The trend is still pointing up, just like the temperature in Arizona as we approach the Holiday.
And let's not forget Marte's batting .444 with 2 HR and a 1.420 OPS in 27 at-bats versus Tyler Anderson throughout his career. So, if the Angels think of throwing Anderson into the mix, they should reconsider.
Arizona is ranked No. 6 (.767) in OPS (on-base + slugging) against the American League this season. So, watch Marte if you want to place a wager on the upcoming Diamondbacks vs. Angels game. He's got the form, the stats, and the trends backing him up.
