Bill Harrelson recommended Elias Diaz UNDER 0.5 total bases. Diaz is 0-for-his-last-nine games at the plate and has failed to record a base knock in 16 of his last 20 (80 %). Limited volume helps—he usually sees only 2–3 plate appearances. Against the Phillies he has gone hitless in five straight and in five of his last eight overall. For the season the under is hitting 64 % (45/70). Harrelson highlighted an 0-for-8 career line versus left-hander Cristopher Sanchez and Diaz’s weaker split against southpaws as additional edges. The market agrees: books such as Hard Rock have the under heavily shaded, giving bettors another reason to fade the Rockies catcher.

Scott Reichel played Elias Diaz OVER 0.5 singles at +115. Diaz has recorded at least one single in seven of his last eight games and is batting .286 against left-handed pitching this season. He is 2-for-7 lifetime off Yusei Kikuchi, giving him some familiarity with tonight’s opposing starter. Reichel likes the plus-money price on a hitter who has been producing whenever he is in the San Diego lineup.
